Thompson and I never have been. I think he was a complete narcissist and I have zero respect for him or his life. That being said, I found this book interesting. The way Juan became a normal, functioning adult says a lot about his strength as a human that he managed to rise above his childhood. You don't have to be a HST fan at all to enjoy this book and I'd say it's worth a read just to see how much of a gun-toting, drug-fueled nut HST really was. ** I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review** I love memoirs, and this was no different. Hunter was definitely an..interesting as character, and I liked seeing things from this point of view. I did enjoy this book and I probably will read it again someday. If you like memoirs and eccentricity, you'll like this book. 4 out of 5 stars. Good book. Stories I Tell Myself: Growing Up with Hunter S. Thompson by Juan F. Thompson is a compelling story told by Hunter's son and only child.It was a very rough childhood growing up with Hunter who was a nutcase though talented. Juan grew to love his father but I can't imagine how he could overcome the terrible things done to him in his youth. It will resonate with all children who dealt with their parents while growing up. It is a very well written book and well worth the detour. But yes Hunter Thompson was nuts and one of a kind. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"An intimate, close-up portrait of Hunter S. Thompson, fearless outlaw journalist, "avenging proxy for the American polity," whose manic first-person articles and exposés so interwoven with the getting of the story, gave rise to gonzo journalism (gonzagas-"fooled you"; bizarre). A portrait of the man: writer, brother, husband, manic searching soul who grew up with the times he inhabited, and in part created; a portrait most of all of the father: the alcoholic, drug fueled, charismatic, irresponsible, idealistic, sensitive man, by the son who lived through it all and thrived to tell the dangerous, complex, loving tale"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
