Gonzo : The life of Hunter S Thompson


Recently finished reading this. A fantastic book about the life of self styled "gonzo journalist", Hunter S Thompson. It is a fascinating insight into Hunter's life, from his humble beginnings, his struggle to complete his first book, through his career with Rolling Stone magazine and the birth of his legendary status. 

It is written as a collection of accounts and memories by people who knew him best, his friends, family and colleagues. Contributions come from Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, Jann Wenner and many more.

I would urge any fan of Hunter's to grab a copy of this book.
