Synopsis
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp, The Rum Diary --a national bestseller and New York Times Notable Book--is Hunter S. Thompson's brilliant love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent lust in the Caribbean. Begun in 1959 by a twenty-two-year-old Hunter S. Thompson, The Rum Diary is a brilliantly tangled love story of jealousy, treachery, and violent alcoholic lust in the Caribbean boomtown that was San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. The narrator, freelance journalist Paul Kemp, irresistibly drawn to a sexy, mysterious woman, is soon thrust into a world where corruption and get-rich-quick schemes rule and anything (including murder) is permissible. Exuberant and mad, youthful and energetic, this dazzling comedic romp provides a fictional excursion as riveting and outrageous as Thompson's Fear and Loathing books.

  • Worth the Time and Dime.

    Fear and Loathing offered a taste into the world of psychedelic drugs and mystery. This was the moment I fell in love with the mind of Hunter S. Thompson (and Johnny Depp) The Rum Diary has it's fair share of alcohol and drug use too, but Mr. Thompson takes a more serious turn and offers some brutal truth about life and choices that effect those around us.

  • Good book for great price

    I got it for as a gift for somebody else. He was very pleased, so if he is, I am.
