Book Description

The Gonzo memoir from one of the most influential voices in American literature, Kingdom of Fear traces the course of Hunter S. Thompson’s life as a rebel—from a smart-mouthed Kentucky kid flaunting all authority to a convention-defying journalist who came to personify a wild fusion of fact, fiction, and mind-altering substances.Brilliant, provocative, outrageous, and brazen, Hunter S. Thompson's infamous rule breaking—in his journalism, in his life, and under the law—changed the shape of American letters, and the face of American icons. Call it the evolution of an outlaw. Here are the formative experiences that comprise Thompson’s legendary trajectory alongside the weird and the ugly. Whether detailing his exploits as a foreign correspondent in Rio, his job as night manager of the notorious O’Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, his epic run for sheriff of Aspen on the Freak Power ticket, or the sensational legal maneuvering that led to his full acquittal in the famous 99 Days trial, Thompson is at the peak of his narrative powers in Kingdom of Fear. And this boisterous, blistering ride illuminates as never before the professional and ideological risk taking of a literary genius and transgressive icon.

I can't thank the developers enough for constantly updating and improving the app. Audiobooks on this app have turned my travels into explorations of new narratives. I'm hooked on this app's ability to transform my ordinary moments into exciting opportunities for learning. ListenBook has transformed my daily commute. I look forward to my journeys with this app by my side. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.

Kudos to ListenBook for optimizing the app for iOS 16 – it shows their dedication to excellence. ListenBook has become an essential part of my routine. It's more than an app – it's a companion. ListenBook’s bookmarking feature is incredibly useful. I never lose my place in a book. I’ve been using ListenBook for months, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The app is lightweight, doesn’t drain my battery, and works perfectly in the background. The equalizer and voice boost features are amazing. Highly recommend!
