An absolutely wild ride. Maybe one of the craziest books I've ever read. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is just a constant rush of adrenaline, a neverending pulse, a story that lacks a strong overarching plot, but one that quickly takes you into its paranoid anecdotes of breaking the speed limit and huffing Ether on the freeways of western America. For lack of a better word, Fear and Loathing is pure insanity. A book that you seriously should read if you're into any of Thompson's beatnik predecessors.
