Review
"This is [Hunter's] best book in years; his recent efforts have been entertaining, but 'The Proud Highway' vividly brings back the days when (to echo his diction) Thompson stomped the terra like a champion."
Review
"Thompson takes the air out of airmail and replaces it with pure, compressed, explosive hydrogen (plus laughing gas)."
Review
"Fortunately, the maverick vibrancy and originality of the record's creator fully redeems what might otherwise have been an act of egomaniacal temerity. The Hunter S. Thompson that emerges in this collection of his letters, complemented by fragments of his other writings, is very much the unrestrained, strenuously nonconformist, Lone Ranger journalist who achieved cult status long ago."
