Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson
by Corey Seymour, Jann S. Wenner
I did notice that Wenner's segments sounded inauthentic and boastful compared to those from others. What book are you referring to in the beginning of your review?

recommended for: gonzos
This book has stolen, or borrowed several memories from another book dealing on HST.
Also it should be noted that the introduction by Johnny Depp was not written for this book, but rather was used in an article several years ago for Rolling Stone, he had no say in its publication for the text at hand.
Keep in mind that Jann Wenner was on terrible terms with HST during his final days. Anita Thompson (HST's widow) also refused to have any of her words used in the publication of this text leading to further speculation as to the true conditions of this series of memoirs.
The whole book appears to be a scheme done by Wenner to earn a few extra dollars using the name in the essence of a true heretic of the and only Hunter S. Thompson. Despicable.
However if one is not too familiar with Thompson, his past, and his friendships then by all means go to the library and borrow a copy. The stories are still enlightening and humorous showing his dark sides, comical sides...more
