• No loathing of the book!

  Book was good, I think seeing the movie first actually helped make the book better. Also gives you a better appreciation for Johnny depps acting role and it’s no wonder Hunter and him were such great friends. As whimsical at it may seem, it’s like the real life version of Alice in wonderland, chock full of interesting anecdotes and verbiage. There’s definitely some insight and meaning the chaos, almost a purposeful pulse to avoid conformity in society which is to be appreciated. Otherwise, it can be said that there’s a certain talent required to be eloquent in describing debauchery.

• Wild and funny

  The wild, surreal, absurd ride the characters go through, while cynically searching for the American dream in the heart of America, Las Vegas, keeps you hooked. Also, it’s really funny!

• A very different but fun read.

  One of my favorite books. It does not take you through the normal structure of a story. Instead, it takes you through a time in history, and time stamps it for people of future generations to know and understand the vibe and sentiment of an era.

• Funny, sad, profane, and profound

  There are few books that are both a snapshot of a moment in time and timeless all at once quite like this one. By the same token there are few where you don’t really know if the narrator is telling you the truth, if it’s hyperbole… or what. All I know is this: I find myself reading the book once a year or so, each time laughing like crazy, struck by HST’s. insight, and sad when it’s over.
