Book Reviews of Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson
Book Review: Wenner's Patience Astounding
Summary: 5 Stars
Hunter Thompson writes to Jann S. Wenner (Rolling Stone editor in chief and mentor), "...just how hot can you stand it, brother, before your love will crack?" I asked myself the same thing about Wenner as I was sucked into this spellbinding and powerfully edited first person(s) account of the life of HST. I was amazed at the endurance and patience of JSW, and was thankful that that the hand-held nurturing, in part, resulted in the brilliant literary output of Thompson. Having been a 150 countries as a private detective and video producer, I thought I had a pretty exciting life. But my knees were shaking reading about the insane adventures of HST and his inner circle. Highly recommended.
Summary of Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson
Few American lives are stranger, more action-packed, or wilder than that of Hunter S. Thompson. Born a rebel inNow, for the first time ever, Jann Wenner and Corey Seymour have interviewed the Good Doctor's friends, family, acquaintances and colleagues and woven their memories into a brilliant oral biography. From Hell's Angels leader Sonny Barger to Ralph Steadman to Jack Nicholson to Jimmy Buffett to Pat Buchanan to Marilyn Manson and Thompson's two wives, son, and longtime personal assistant, more than 100 members of Thompson's inner circle bring into vivid focus the life of a man who was even more complicated, tormented, and talented than any previous portrait has shown. It's all here in its uncensored glory: the creative frenzies, the love affairs, the drugs and booze and guns and explosives and, ultimately, the tragic suicide. As Thompson was fond of saying, "Buy the ticket, take the ride."
