As a writer he is remembered most for his flamboyant and humorous style. He enjoyed employing action verbs to comically spin outlandish tales that were completely unbelievable, yet provided a unique viewpoint to accurately describe the underlying reality at hand. Thompson almost always wrote in first person narrative, and his stories became so colorfully contrived that they easily slipped into the realm of fiction; however, the basic framework of the story he told was very often true.
Thompson’s writing style and 'Gonzo Journalism' has been widely imitated; his influence on American Writers of the latter half of the 20th century is undeniable.
In his writing, he cultivated the persona of a dangerously absurd, drug-crazed journalist bent on comic self-destruction. While his fictional persona largely mirrored his actual life, Thompson noted that he sometimes felt obligated to live up to the fictional self that he had created.

Nicely done, Cool.
Watch this video. Toast to Hunter, with a Joint. Maybe kickback and reblue a revolver. But most importantly Write!
I was a Criminal once and probably still am in some ways.

"One of a kind" doesn't even begin to describe how unique he was.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" -H.S.Thompson

Hunter said it. "Buy the ticket, take the ride." We all choose our train.
