protovulcan 's review for:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
2.0
tense fast-paced

This book was only 200 pages but it felt like 200 years. 
The only reason this gets 2 stars and not 1 is because I did find a select few scenes funny,  and the last 20 pages pretty enjoyable. The rest of this just isn't for me. Though it might be effective propaganda for doing drugs.  This guy did every drug imaginable for a week straight and lived until 2005. Amazing. Less amazing is the obvious: racial slurs, the very real rape of a very real girl, all the random people they terrorized... nothing in this book was interesting enough for me to balance out the other stuff.  The art was cool.
