Story4.5 out of 5 stars 17
I wrote three paperback original novels for Berkley under the pen name Jill Emerson, two of them in diary form, the third a presumed collaborative novel written in concert by the three viewpoint characters. These were fun to do and worked out well, and they led to Ronald Rabbit Is a Dirty Old Man. I riffed on the experience of my friend George Dickerson, who, like the novel's protagonist, had the magazine he was editing folded out from under him.

Rick Salter is a man everybody loves to hate. But that's fine; in fact, it's become a way of life for Rick ever since the launch of his outrageous - and outrageously successful - reality TV show about torture, The King of Pain. So when one Saturday morning Rick comes to on his living room floor, he's not really bothered that cultural critics have put him on top of the list of “people who will hasten the demise of civilization” - no, his real problem is that he appears to be trapped under his gigantic home entertainment system.

In the dark heart of our imagination, and the haunted corners our past there are places we fear to tread. As much as we might try to outrun them, as much as we might try to deny their truths, we are owned by their shape, molded by their claws. The story of our being, they form a Sacrum Umbra, a sacred shadow of improbable origin - our own dark heart.

Eight-year-old Evan Laine is afraid. He'd lost a finger in a car accident, but now, it is slowly growing back. There are other changes, too. Changes he can't hide from his mom. And dreams. Dreams from which he wakes, screaming. They are after him - the beautiful redheaded woman and the drooling boy/ man. They want him to change. They are making him change, shaping him into something just like them.

Originally published in 1979, the first volume of the best-selling "Gonzo Papers" is now back in print. The Great Shark Hunt is Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's largest and, arguably, most important work, covering Nixon to napalm, Las Vegas to Watergate, Carter to cocaine. These essays offer brilliant commentary and outrageous humor, in signature Thompson style. Thompson's razor-sharp insight and crystal clarity capture the crazy, hypocritical, degenerate, and redeeming aspects of the explosive and colorful '60s and '70s.

Imagine being liquid enough to fool around with the building blocks of life just to create a park full of zombies to cash in on the general public's infatuation with the undead. Now imagine, as it often does, something going wrong with that concept and zombies ruining the world for everybody. Next, imagine dinosaurs returning to prominence in a Planet of the Apes-type scenario and evolving so they fill all the roles we humans did before the fall of the species. So our story begins. A group of dino-commandos are sent in to uncover the fate of their missing colleagues....

This enormously eccentric book takes listeners on a crazy journey with renowned gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist's "coverage" of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, The Curse of Lono features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay for which Hunter S.Thompson became known and loved.

In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Publisher's Summary
In search of the ferocious truth, some would call trying to channel the spirit of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson a fool’s errand. But these are desperate times. So settle in for this trilogy of uppers, downers, screamers, laughers from John Bruni (Tales of Questionable Taste), Kent Hill (Hercules with a Shotgun) and Kevin Candela (Weedeaters: The Complete Acropalypse) as they bring you just what the doctor ordered. “Yesterday’s weirdness is tomorrow’s reason why” – Hunter S. Thompson

Never Forget You're in Bat Country
This is a great book for fans of Hunter S. Thompson and gonzo and bizarro fiction in general. I really thought all three authors did a great job of creating works in alignment with his themes and adding a bit of their own spin as well. Burt is excellent with his performance, as always, I have yet to find a book he isn't clearly getting a kick out of as much as the listener and authors.

Super Imaginative and Fun Listen
Hunter S. Thompson is one of those larger than life figures and who better than some authors of larger than life works to write a series of three novellas about Thompson in decidedly larger than life situations. It starts with John Bruni bringing Thompson and his Attorney on a journey mirroring Dante's in Hell and goes from there. The only commonalities are that there will be plenty of drugs, plenty of action, and a real agreement among the authors on how Hunter S. Thompson would act in these circumstances. Though they're three stories in three different settings you can believe the same character is in each which really cements it as a great collection of tales of a man whose certainly an inspiration to the authors collected in this work.

3 Exciting and Entertaining Journeys
I have never read any Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's work, but after listening to these three stories and comparing their unifying themes, I think I have a sense of his work. The stories involved road trips where we encounter extremely eccentric and memorable characters, do a lot of drinking and drugs, and are exposed to graphic violence. They made me want to read his work. The narration was excellent. I really enjoyed how the POV character retained the same voice for all three stories, while a wide range of colorful voices were used to depict all the other characters the POV character meets. Thumbs up and highly recommend this audiobook.

I was looking forward to this book, but, unfortunately found it mediocre
Some of it was a chore and if i had been reading this in hard copy i would have probably given up before finishing the first story
This book was given to me for free at my request and i provided this voluntary review
