A review by katyboo52
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

3.0

I can understand why this book was such a hit in its day and why it continues to remain a cult classic. I am however, too old, too tired and too female to find it much fun. It seemed exhausting. It took all the fun out of taking drugs. I fail to see what grinding your teeth to stumps, being wildly paranoid about everything, vomiting a lot and never getting any sleep does for you. The whole book is basically an excuse for not actually doing your job that ironically turns into your job. Other than that it was great.
