Thompson</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17739526?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> rating: 5 of 5 stars<br/>This book is a collection of old letters that Hunter Thompson, the ultimate loon and rebel, wrote during his coming of age. It's interesting to see what an independent thinker like Thompson did with his life and his amusing use of the English language is sure to inspire chuckles. Anyone who has struggled with art, creativity and individuality against the need for security and acceptance in the world should read this book. It should be required reading for college freshman. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/988524?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
