If only Thompson had written more books like this-and to think, this one came close to never being published! That would have been a shame. While I am sure there are some autobiographical elements to the character of Paul Kemp, Thompson has created a very likable fictitious character who struggles his way through a mundane job at a San Juan newspaper, The Daily News.While some may find it a fault, what I love most about this book is the simple straightforward story of its simple straightforward characters. ![]() Thompson sense-which is usually a far cry from “normal.” There are still plenty of interesting aspects to the setting, and to all of the characters in this book.This book is very different from Thompson’s most famous work, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

What I find so likable about this book is its realism. ![]() The Rum Diary is my favourite of all of Thompson’s writings it also stands at the top as one of my favourite fiction titles ever. ![]() ![]() ![]() Will he succeed?
