This is a review of Hell’s Angels I came across by Christopher Allen, on the website Notes from Underground. He just read it for the first time. Wonderfully written review:
The book is amazing. It’s objective, biased, horrifying and profound. At times you feel like you’re reading a nature book on some brutish animal and at other times you feel like you’re peeking into the soul of all mankind. There is never a dull moment and at times you feel scared for the author. At other times you feel jealous that he’s partying with Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey and the Hell’s Angels while everyone is out of their gourd on LSD.
It was definitely a different time. A time I’d love to visit and this is a book that lets me do just that. Check it out, even if you have to pay full price.
