Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

I don't often DNF a book but I may have set a record with this one - DNFed after 12 pages. Drug induced stupidity is not high on my list of things I find humorous. Likewise I'm not keen on narcissistic pretentiousness.

This book was first published in 1971 and had I read it then I might have found it super cool. After all, there was a time I enjoyed Tom Wolfe. On the back I see he rated this book highly.

Who might enjoy it? If someone believes getting stoned on any number of drugs and acting like a complete idiot is enjoyable, he or she might enjoy this. I think anyone else would be best to pass it by.
