Reviews

"The Washington Post"He amuses; he frightens; he flirts with doom. His achievement is substantial.

"The Washington Post"Thompson's voice still jumps right off the page, as wild, vital and gonzo as ever.

"Publishers Weekly"Rollickingly funny throughout, Thompson's latest proves that the father of gonzo journalism is alive and well.
