Spanning four decades - 1950 to 1990 - Thompson is at the top of his form while fleeing New York for Puerto Rico, riding with the Hell's Angels, investigating Las Vegas sleaze, grappling with the "Dukakis problem", and finally, detailing his infamous lifestyle bust.

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.

Story
Hunter S. Thompson is often misremembered as a wise-cracking, drug-addled cartoon character. This book reclaims him for what he truly was: a fearless opponent of corruption and fascism, one who sacrificed his future well-being to fight against it, rewriting the rules of journalism and political satire in the process. This skillfully told and dramatic story shows how Thompson saw through Richard Nixon's treacherous populism and embarked on a life-defining campaign to stop it.

Hunter S.

Only the first of the three pieces included here - "Mescalito", published in Thompson's 1990 collection Songs of the Doomed - has been available to the public, making the audio edition of Screwjack a major publishing event.

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.
