One of the best books I've ever read and I can't believe it's taken me 35 years to read this book, from beginning to end. It's one of those rare books that gives me confidence to do more of my own writing and makes me believe that I don't necessarily need to stick to a particular style or format of writing to be considered good at it.

5. So fucking long and messy.

6. Narrated by an inimitable voice.

7. Gonzo.
