Kingdom of Fear

Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century
by Hunter S. Thompson
Published: Nov 2003

A delightful patchwork of autobiographical escapades, political rants and historical insight. Follow Hunter through his persistent lobbying for civil liberties, a campaign for Sheriff of Aspen, and that one time got Jack Nicholson an elk heart for his birthday. But be warned, no work of HST would be complete without a healthy dose of of sex, drugs, dynamite, and violence.

4 out of 5 stars: The end is perpetually nigh, folks. Mahalo.
