Book Reviews of Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga (Modern Library)
Book Review: A 1966 Newspaper Article with a few parts GONZO
Summary: 4 Stars
If your not a pretty big HST fan, a fan of journalism, or interested in the MC (motorcycle club) culture I wouldn't recommend this book. Admittedly I give this book 4-stars because Thompson wrote it, and as an aspiring journalist I enjoy reading his style. As the title of my review suggests it reads like a newspaper article. Thompson gives facts and makes many references to events occurring during the time period. This limits the book as a period piece. There are parts where you can really see HST's talent as a writer, but its not every page, not even every other. If you haven't read Thompson before don't make this your first read of his work. Start with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you like it consider going to Hell's Angels, but this book is not for everyone.
