Hunter S Thompson Pioneer of the written word
Hunter S. Thompson: A Pioneer Of The Written Word Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell’s Angels by Hunter S. Thompson are two incredible stories about to very different yet equally exciting journeys. ... Thompson uses a sarcastic tone, persuasive and humorous language and employs a very unique approach to a plot to create this great style. Thompson’s tone throughout both Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Hell’s Angels is a very undeniable one. His tone can draw in the most stubborn of critics with its intelligence yet behind every word it is obvious there is a smirk or laugh in mind. ... The impression one gets is that Thompson’s writing is somewhat of a game to him and by using such a dismissive type tone he continues the game easily through out both books. ... “Between brilliance and burnout”(Crawford Woods) is a perfect way of describing what Thompson does with his words. Thompson has an impeccable way of making an outright laughable drunk ramble into a totally intelligent interpretation. ... Although the information is obviously stupid and dangerous to anyone with half a brain, Thompson, because of the tone he uses makes the advice actually seem valuable and actually intelligent.
