Review of 'The Rum Diary ' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I do wonder, with books like these, how the main subject ever gets anything done, given that he appears blind drunk all the time. Sometimes light and funny, sometimes rather more dark, I gather this is early Hunter S Thompson, and therefore before he discovers acid. It was OK; the plot line mostly as-to-be-expected from the first few chapters, and the characters varied and interesting. Not sure I'd put it in a list of favourites, though.

5 stars

Amazing book. Hunter S. Thompson has the ability to whisk the reader away to Puerto Rico. In the intro you find yourself at Al's Patio drinking Rum in the sun with a group of strangers you are going to either Love or hate over the next 200 pages.

This is the first book by this author I have read and I will be getting more to read.
