Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream Author: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page.

What a strange book! I felt that I just had to read this book because of its infamy, and I'm glad I finally did. It was an entertaining book to read in little snippets, but much too weird to read in one sitting. The illustrations by Ralph Steadman were great!

I was very confused after reading this book but my boyfriend insists that it is the greatest book of all time so I had to give it a shot!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is an absurd adventure in 1970s Sin City. First-person narrator Duke and his attorney are on drugs the entire time from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, resulting in violent, extreme, and illegal behavior. The strange illustrations reflect the tone and vividness of their drug-induced psychosis and paranoia. Hunter S. Thompson does a marvelous job expressing these; perhaps that is why this novel is on the list of 1001 books you must read before you die.

FAVORITE! :) <3 Loved it! I've read it multiple times since the once required for class and have written a few papers on it as well. Worthy of a read or two. And of some research :)

A good read but you have to be pretty desensitized to partying to "get it" I think.
