If I hadn’t seen the movie before reading the book I think it’d be a bit hard to navigate. I think it also helps knowing a bit that Hunter S. Thompson is a journalist, and the book is a bit of a fictional amalgamation of his actual life experiences. Otherwise it kinda seems like a bunch of plotless babble. Not for the faint of heart.
