Roller coaster ride of drug abuse
The narration of the book helps to make the disjointed nature of the story roll along more evenly than you would expect. it is well told and the characters come alive. it is hard to believe that this book was written over forty years ago as certain aspects of the culture and lifestyle are as fresh today as they were then and nothing seems dated, it seems relevant, almost as if you could have the same wild adventure today as you could then and nothing would have changed except for the names of the politicians. All in all a solid 5/5 and highly recommended by this listener.

Much better than the clip suggests.
The quality of the recording is much better than the clip suggests.
Narration is great and of course, the book is a classic.

BRILLIANT
I READ THIS BOOK AND ALSO SAW THE FILM BUT NONE OF THEM COMPARE WITH THE AUDIO BOOK. I LAUGHED SO MUCH AND REALLY ENJOYED THE PURE MADNESS. THE NARRATOR IS FABULOUS AND PORTRAYS THE EVENTS SO WELL THAT I FELT LIKE I WAS ACTUALLY THERE.

Rooooooooooaaaaaaaaad Triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip....
It's all you thought and some thoughts you couldn't have without chemical assistance.
This strangely lyrical journey too and from Las Vegas was something I found I couldn't just dip in to. You have to take big slugs and then just hang on and look out... I couldn't decide whether it was a journey I wish I was brave enough to go on, or one I took and just couldn't remember.

Ugh.
I spent most of this thinking "oh grow up and behave yourself, you ridiculous manchild". Hunter S Thompson and his mate come across as, at best, immature idiots, and at worst, dangerous misogynistic thugs.

Drug feuled trip to Las Vegas
An over the top account of a mind bending trip to Las Vegas I must admit one of the best audible narrator I have heard.

Outstanding
Withnail & I turned up to 11. More words to fill space. Amazon despises brevity.
