I'm not a reader of graphic adaptations of books that I enjoy, as I prefer to read books as how they were intended to be read. But, given on how much I enjoy the source material of Hunter S. Thompson's classic novel about the degradation of the hippie movement and the illusion of The American Dream, as well as the movie adaptation directed by Monty Python veteran Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro as the two anti-heroes, which has become one of my favorites. So I decide...

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. What a long strange trip this has been. That's about all I have to say about this one.

*4.25 stars*Update: re-read this in June 2016. Still awesome.I'm a big fan of Hunter Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I read the book multiple times and sometimes I watch the movie even if I know it by heart. Overall I really enjoyed this graphic novel and the art is STUNNING. I didn't give it five stars because sometimes there was too much text in a page but I will probably buy this as soon as it is out, it was sooooo good.*ARC / review copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an ho...

This is a book for the fans of the movie or the book, it takes the book and adds graphics which reminded me a lot of the movie, it's a well crafted coming together of the two mediums. Does it bring anything new though? Not really which is a real shame, I was hoping to pick up on some bits I had missed before. It captures the madness perfectly and I really enjoyed just how Thompson was drawn, the scenes where he shouts were well done. If you have never read the book then I recommend reading that

This is an interesting artifact, but it's no substitute for the real thing. Little is smart enough to use huge chunks of Thompson's prose in this adaptation, which helps, and his style, once you get over the shock of its not looking like Ralph Steadman, is pleasantly cartoony, but this book is ultimately just riding on the coattails of Hunter's best-known work. As I said, his style is a little jarring at first. The artwork is reminiscent of Jimmy Gownley or Bill Watterson with maybe a touch of R...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas collects issues 1-4 of the comic series that is adapted by Troy Little from Hunter S. Thompson's original book. Raoul Duke, Thompson's alter ego, and his attorney travel to Las Vegas in the1970s to cover The Mint 400 - a huge race in the Vegas desert. The duo wind up in many misadventures while completely intoxicated and searching for The American Dream. I originally read Thompson's timeless tale back in 2005 and have seen Terry Gilliam's movie adaptation starring

I was holed up in a luxury condo in Playa Jaco Coasta Rica with my personal trainer / bodyguard. My mission was to review Troy Little’s 2015 graphic novel of Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I’d need three cases of cerveza, two gallons of tequila and a lime. And a bag of chips. Damn it, how could I work under these conditions? No help for it, the check was already spent and unless I wanted to be neck deep in abogados and on the take policia, I’d have to soldier on and deliver...

I read the book over a decade, or close, ago and only once, so it's hard to compare. I've seen the movie many many times, mostly during my teens years... yep... And from all those foggy memories this might be closer from the movie then the actual book. Anyway this was funny! Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas might be one of the craziest drug trip cult book/movie pop culture of all time. This is wild! The art was well done and really participate in creating this strange and intoxicate ambiance. A ve...

This was a nostalgic read for me. 18 year old me was obsessed with the movie, adult me however not as much.

Not a replacement for the original book, but an interesting graphic novel adaptation. It felt more like I was reading the movie. The art was acceptable and worked fine.

A pretty faithful retelling of Tompson's book in graphic format. This format seems ideal for this book and I enjoyed it quite a lot, probably better than I did the original.

Wicked adaption!I love the original story of Fear and Loathing by Hunter S. Thompson. Also loved the film that starred, Johnny Depp. Now I have another story to love!The illustrations bring to life the one-of-a-kind character, Raoul Duke and his dodgy lawyer, Dr. Gonzo. These two are on a drug-fueled adventure of epic proportions through Las Vegas. Between the drugs and paranoia, you get a mish-mash of things going on, and yet the all make sense and work.This is definitely one of those stories t...

I was always curious about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but a novel about two men going on a drug binge while spending a weekend in Vegas just didn't sound like something I wanted to invest my time in.I happened to stumble onto this graphic novel while making a quick stop at my library. I had no idea it was a graphic novel. I really enjoyed reading it. The art was awesome, and it did a great job of disorienting you at times so that you fit right into the book. I will not be picking up the nov...

This was totally outrageous. A thrilling crash course on drug abuse and subversion. The artwork was amazing, the writing could be better, I mean, considering the nature of the subject matter did a lot to make the characters come off a littl flat and two-dimensional. But all in all, it was a cool read.

I received a copy of this for free from NetGalleyBrilliant art. This was just as weird and wonderful as I had hoped it would be.

10 things I learned from reading this:1.) Hunter S. Thompson's entire life should probably be told in the graphic novel format.2.) Drug logic is what Mr. Spock would call "highly illogical."3.) If Hunter S. Thompson is telling you that you're messed up, then you are really off the rails.4.) Everything that happens in this story is the consequence of a lack of moderation.5.) Just when you think that none of this story is going to make any sense you will encounter a section that is cogent, enlight...

Turning Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas into a graphic novel feels almost tantamount to sacrilege, but Troy Little embraces the drug-fuelled mania of this infamous road-trip and delivers a fun tribute to the madcap antics of America’s favourite gonzo journalist. Little’s cleaner art style can’t touch Ralph Steadman’s brilliant cartoons, however.
