Hell's Angels review:5 stars (The Doctor Rides for Truth) - Somewhat more staid and conforming to acceptable human regulations than his subsequent howling manifestos, Hell's Angels is nonetheless a rare and wonderful work. From the opening paragraphs, consisting of Thompson's jarring, disjointed, and richly lyrical account of the tableau of the American motorcycle gang, I was hooked. In the later, more conventionally journalistic sections, always present is a perplexed half-pity for the bikers of the title, and a scornful resentment of the frothing media and law enforcement types who've so thoroughly hyped up the shaggy ruffians. Views on crime and social responsibility aside, lovers of true innovation--on the page and elsewhere--will find much to enjoy.5 stars (Method Writer) - You have to appreciate a writer that takes care of his characters the way a good and talented actor takes care of his character. This is one of few writers that understands that to write about a certain thing, you have to research and become that thing that your writing about. Hunter S. Thompson is one of the best writers around because of his care for the craft. The work slides off the page and mesmerizes the mind. If you don't have this, pick up a copy of it as soon as you can. Also, I'm not one to promote but I ran into a couple of books as of lately that need to be read by anyone with eyes. As completely unrelated, pick up a copy of Berserk (manga) the story alone is worth the time to read, while it's long, you will completely appreciate this work. Also, pick up a copy Dope by: Robert J. Escandon, the work is a derivative of Thompson's own exploits. It's truly worth the 15 bucks and the time. Trust me on this guys, it's awesome.5 stars (Hell's Angels More Than A Curiosity) - Just finished reading this book and couldn't put it down. If you have a curiosity about the Hell's Angels, this is the book to buy! Hunter S. Thompson rode with the Angels during a promonient time in their history with all the colorful characters that have made a name in Angel's history like Sonny Barger, Terry the Tramp, Mouldy Marvin, Magoo, Mother's Miles and many more. Hunter writes about the infamous Bass Lake Run, the Monterey Rape Incident, Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters' parties for the Hell's Angels and the Viet Nam Day Committee confrontation with the Hell's Angels in Berekley. He also takes the opportunity to inject his take on the biased press-media of the time and pretty much tells the stories as they happened that will keep any reader riveted and titallated. Buy this book if you want an adventure with the most infamous motorcycle gang on the scene today and then. Hell's Angels Features: Author: Hunter S. Thompson Social Science / Popular Culture
