"Obscene, horrid, driving, urgent, candid, a fascinating, compelling book!" New York Post "Hunter Thompson is the most creatively crazy and vulnerable of the New Journalists. His books are brilliant and honorable and the literary equivalent of Cubism: all rules are broken." Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. "Gaze in Hunter Thompson does in his own mad way betray a profound democratic concern for the polity. And in its own mad way, it`s damned refreshing." Christopher Lehmann-Haupt in "The New York Times"
