이 책은 약물을 흡입하고, 혼란스러울 정도로 정신이 없었지만 매우 좋았던 시간들을 인쇄물로 옮겨적은 이야기이다. 이상한 여정을 지나온 미국 대중 문화의 연대기 속으로 긴 주말 여행을 떠나는 이야기이다.

기자라는 신분의 라울 듀크는 그의 변호사 곤조와 함께 일탈을 꿈꾸며 라스베가스로 향한다.그들의 일탈은 갖가지 종류의 마약을 입속에 털어넣음으로 시작된다. 머릿속에선 끊임없이 왜곡된 영상을 만들어내고,아무도 모르는 공포에 시달리고,모두가 혐오스러워하는 괴물로 변해가는데...

1998년 조니 뎁, 베네치오 델 토로 주연의 영화로 만들어져 감독인 테리 길리엄이 칸느 영화제 감독상 후보에 오르기도 했다.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page. It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken.
Now this cult classic of gonzo journalism is a major motion picture from Universal, directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro. Opens everywhere on May 22, 1998.

  • Good read

    Very good read.

    Probably one of the only books I've read that is near enough spot on to the movie. Only a few elements changed. Very minor changes, such as the songs being played on the radio, and a few conversations.

  • Definitely better than the adaptatioon for the big screen, as the movie simply seems to be a story about drugs, while the book achieves to criticize society and particularly the Ameerican dream.

  • "There are only two adjectives writers care about... Brilliant and Outrageous. Hunter Thompson has a freehold on both of them."

  • Drug fuelled journalism with a twisted view of reality. A good read for those who like something different.
