ClareR (5874 KP) rated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream in Books

Nov 12, 2017

Much more accessible (to me!) as an audiobook! (0 more)

Audiobook version

This was my second attempt at this book. The first time, I tried to read it and gave up. Several years later, I found it on my library's audiobook app. I glad that I tried it: it really made me laugh, and I give all the credit for that to the excellent narrator, Ron McLarty. It's a very strange story, after all, there are a great deal of drugs involved - and you can tell! I have to admit, it doesn't make me want to visit Las Vegas anytime soon! I'm not so sure that this was the desired outcome....

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Frostbitten in Books

Jan 18, 2018

Have you ever read something and then immediately thought to yourself wtf did I just read? That is the best way I can describe Forstbitten. Half of the time I wasnt sure what was even going on. The writing was so bizarre, vague, and all over the place, I am still trying to find the plot. I thought the erotic scenes could save it, but those were a mess as well. Everything about this book made it sound enticing. However, the execution was so poorly done, I am left wondering what drugs the author was on when she wrote it and would I understand it if I took them too?

Danny Mcbride (0 more)

This raucous comedy focuses on the Gemstone family,a bunch of TV evangelical preachers lead by head preacher Eli Gemstone.

The main story focuses on eldest son Jesse is blackmailed by a couple of thugs who have a vidro of him and other members of the church taking drugs with prostitutes when on a church related trip to atlanta.As things get more complicated the rest of the family are dragged into it and much hilarity ensues.

I was never really a big fan of Danny McBride (who created the show also) but in this he is brilliant as the arrogant son Jesse,as is john goodman as his dad.
