A fun ride I didn't expect there to be as many insights into the political movements around the time area (which I liked). I enjoyed the parts when he would pick up the newspaper or tell a story about a friend. I liked it due to it allowed the author to tell you about things outside of just Vegas so the story never felt stagnant. I liked how he explained he went crazier there because people push things under the rug in Vegas if you got a 5 dollar tip on hand or 2 dollar a day car insurance. I feel the movie doesn't do it justice for the author seems to be more aware of what hes doing than the movie portrayed (however it could be the film is like he thinks he's in control but hes actual speaking gibberish).
