"This book is hilarious and heart-breaking and hard to put down." - William McKeen, author of OUTLAW JOURNALIST and HIGHWAY 61
"A pleasant addition to Thompsoniana." - Kirkus Reviews
"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
"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
