This review is from: Ancient Gonzo Wisdom: Interviews with Hunter S. Thompson (Paperback)

Thompson's shining Gonzo Intellect is displayed here with humor and insight. Thompson was a seer, a visionary, an immovable force of which our culture will have to contend with for decades to come. His interviews read like his prose - evidence that what you read in print was the Good Doctor himself without pretense, without a mask. The earth's axis has shifted since his departure and we are all at a loss with his absence.

This collection of Dr. Thompson's interviews over a period of several years reflects his essential, irascible attitude. His widow, Anita Thompson, who assembled and edited this important work, has unique insight into the real Hunter behind the Gonzo image.
Highly recommended!

There are no writers like Hunter. There are fewer who have lived and died like the man. This is a good collection of thoughts and words put together to get a glimpse of the Doctor, yet in order to touch on him read his books. It was a bit too repetitive and maybe i was looking down the barrell of an empty loaded weapon. There was not enough kick as a Wild Turkey or not enough speed as a chopper tearing thru the lonely highway.
