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)

Must listen for Hunter fans

Cool book, you can see he was like looking for trouble as much as he was trying to write a story.

Great audiobook for bikerides

It's a great peek into the racous lifestyle of the Hells Angels in California in the sixties. I listen to it on my bike ride to and from work. Transforms my crappy road bike into a roaring Harley

The narrator is ruining this experience.

This guys voice and style is just obvious that he's reading this and doesn't really know Thompsons rhythm and tone. I'm regretting my purchase.

Starts off with a high revving v-twin

Smoking the wheel from the start and doesn't let up till the very end! fast paced and attention grabbing!

Remarkable book, fascinating narrator

This book is a tour de force. Thompson immersed himself in that world and gave you every drop of juice possible. Intriguing to know about the lives of those bikers. So many contradictions too. Thompson's writing style is very entertaining. This was made even more fun by the narration of Scott Sowers. At first I found him unusual. He narrates quite unlike the narration you're used to. Then you immediately fall in love with him. He's exciting, and brings the book to life. You feel he's right next to you engaging you in enthusiastic conversation. This guy needs to narrate a whole lot more books, love his style.
