After reading this great account of Hunter S. Thompson and the lessons he taught his young wife, Anita Thompson, I've embarked on a profound and extended examination of the tenets that govern my life. It might not be everyone's cup of tea to consider this the best book, but the core lessons she presents are truly valuable.
Part of the message was an effort to dispel the misconception that Hunter was merely a drug-crazed, gun-toting lunatic. In reality, he was a genius who never ceased learning and a man who boasted a large community of life-long friends. I was among those who initially knew only one side of him, but there are numerous individuals out there, perhaps hippie-ass, bastard swine, out-of-control, nut-job, ne'er-do-well freaks, who desperately need to grasp this precise message.
Hopefully, you will also find something of worth in this account and enjoy the journey of discovery as I have.
