“There are only two adjectives writers care about anymore... ‘brilliant’ and ‘outrageous’ ... and Hunter Thompson has a freehold on both of them.” -Tom Wolfe Thompson’s Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century is a hard book to review. It is the fifth book that I have read by the great Hunter S. Thompson, who has been one of my heroes for many years. Suggested to me by my best friend’s cousin while out bar-hopping, I thought I’d give this one a shot because I am a huge fan of Thompson’s work and had never heard much about it. So I figured I’d dive in to see for myself. It is interesting to read this, as it is the most recently-written book that I have read by Hunter. Being so close to present-time, it’s easier for me to relate to a lot of the events that happen in the book. I wasn’t alive for most of the Thompson canon, so it has always been intriguing for me to see what someone who was so obviously exploring the fringes of society thought about it way back when. But since this was written in the last decade, I lived through most of these times, but was unaware of the insanity roaming around in America at that time. Thompson writes about run-ins with the law, drugs, sex, rock & roll, fast cars and motorcycles, football, crooked cops, fast lawyers and dumb judges with an eloquence unmatched by any but attempted by many. When I was in journalism school, it was made abundantly clear to me that it was okay to enjoy Hunter’s ravings, but to not try to emulate them. It’s impossible to write like this for any normal human being. And I think I’m beginning to be okay with that. If you’ve never read any Hunter S. Thompson, I would advise you to start with either The Rum Diary or Hell’s Angels. But if you have checked him out before, or seen the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas you should feel free to tackle this one. Highly recommended. 4/5 Stars. 351 pages. Published in 2003.
