Title: The only good Thompson bio so far
Review: It's a shame this book is out of print. As one of three Hunter Thompson biographies published in the spring of 1993, Whitmer's was the only one that wasn't an utter embarrassment to its author or publisher.He actually did some concerted, smart research, thought about his subject, did more reporting and obviously wrote more than a single draft of the book. The fact that Whitmer has a brain and knows how to use it didn't hurt. And unlike Perry & Carroll, Whitmer can write. In addition to having done more and better research than his rivals, his prose is clean, fluid and graceful. Both stylistically and factually, this is the only Thompson biography worth reading.
