Critical Praise

“Down to its last detail...a work that surely would have inspired Thompson to fire off a letter of approval—rather than a few rounds from a firearm.” — Camden Courier-Post

“Parlor gossip with a Gonzo twist. It’s an essential installment in the Hunter figure legend that continues to grow. — Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and editor of the Hunter S. Thompson letters collections THE PROUD HIGHWAY and FEAR AND LOATHING IN AMERICA.

“This is the real Hunter S. Thompson. No friends knew him better than Cleverly and Braudis.” — Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of EINSTEIN: His Life and Universe

“A pleasant addition to Thompsoniana.” — Kirkus Reviews

“A tale of the smart, amusing and passionate soul behind the Gonzo mask....a must read.” — Loren Jenkins, Pulitzer Prize winning journlist and Senior Foreign Editor for National Public Radio

“This book is hilarious and heart-breaking and hard to put down.” — William McKeen, author of OUTLAW JOURNALIST and HIGHWAY 61
