Alltid lika intressant att läsa om Hunter. Ganska så hög kvalitet på innehållet i denna intervjubok. ( )

A wonderful, concise piece of work, detailing forgotten/lost interviews of Hunter S. Thompson and what could be his last interview before his suicide (with a poor stunned college girl no less).

Hunter S. Thompson is one of those voices that is one in a million... but one that we also know a ton of people that are so similar. "To dangerous to live" types, no alcohol, drug, or adrenaline activity to risky, not worth taking, not worth doing. As Scruffy from Futurama would say: "The Candle that Burns Brightest Goes Out the Fastest." We all know the type, yet Hunter S. Thompson is still refreshing and new and different. His antics are one in a million, but are also found a million times over, but the way he is, the mannerisms, the character behind himself, not just Raul, or Duke, or what have you, but Thompson himself, is so starting different and shockingly so, that its poignant to always keep him in mind. A clear voice at times when voices need to be clear and concise and pragmatic. Especially in the topics he discussed most - politics, drugs, life, gangs, violence, human endeavor, the American Dream, etc.

The interviews themselves are great, and showcase who Hunter S. Thompson really was. His maniac, his teetering on the edge of explosion, his sharp will and wit, his slipping in and out of reality (either on or not on drugs), but yet his deep and underwhelming intelligence and knowledge of the human soul belying everything he said. The closing interview with a star-stunned, shell-shocked, fresh blood college girl is a great final cap to his life and this series, and about as great of a final interview one could get out of Thompson.
