To preface this post, I recently watched the movie, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was adapted from a book by the same name by Hunter S. Thompson. The movie consisted of two hours of Johnny Depp and Benicio del Torro stumbling around Nevada in a drug-addled haze, pissing people off and generally having a good time for two hours. So, having also heard about how the book was great from a few friends, I decided I'd check it out. Before you even open the book, the cover gives you a hint as to how twisted (literally) the story inside is.
As you can see, it's a bit of a strange cover, showing Hunter S. Thompson's pretty face all twisted up, with his masive pilot shades reflecting the sights of nighttime Las Vegas in a manner just as distorted as his face is. The movie was a whole lot of distorted fun, and I expect the book to be just as much, if not more.
Remember kiddies, don't do drugs.
