Hell's Angels by Hunter S. Thompson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
In the first act, I began to weary of the celebration of violence that seemed to exude from Hunter's paean to Hell's Angels. I either acclimated to the gonzo journalism or something, but I felt I was enjoying a perhaps inadvertant anthropological dimension as Hunter explored such phenonemenon like town takeovers and biker riots which seem as remote as lost Amazon tribes, now. Hell's Angel's seem like one of many criminal organization feature occasionally on Nat Geo Wild and it seems almost quaint to read about their fights and beer parties, insignia and even gang rapes which Hunter keeps returning to. The candid observations of Sonny Barger and disenchantment Hunter experiences until he is listerally stomped our of Hell's Angels companionship is a wild ride.
