Critic reviews

“[Thompson’s] language is brilliant … [he] has presented us with a close view of a world most of us would never dare encounter.” ( New York Times)

Insights Galore!

I'd for years misunderstood the Hell's Angels and have recently come to see that things are never what they seem. This was a great look inside a society that's has outcasted itself and branded as dangerous but a closer look will show you something entirely different!

Terrible audio

Great book but the audio is real Skippy and it gets irritating but all around good

I like it.

The side of Hell's Angel's shown/image painted gives a perspective that raises questions. A look from inside the club accompanied by mainstream headlines shows how easily lines dividing truth and fiction can be blurred. A strange limbo between a dark truth and an outright lie gives you a chance to come to your own conclusion.

Great book.

I always like any books that shed light on the 70's 80's Hells Angels. They are just a different breed from a crazy culture spawned from the 1st turning of our current cycle. in the next 25 years we will see the repeat of the same thing when large groups of people are left out of the new world and have no choice but to buck the system. Rinse and repeat. Rich get richer and human cant get out of there own way.

Kinda Gonzo

Watching the movie Rum Diaries inspired me to listen to this. It was well written and interesting. Most of the subject matter was dated and just not that interesting. The last few chapters were the best. The narrator did a bang up job.
