Story
In Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, Raoul Duke (Thompson) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (inspired by a friend of Thompson) are quickly diverted to search for the American dream. Their quest is fueled by nearly every drug imaginable and quickly becomes a surreal experience that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. But there is more to this hilarious tale than reckless behavior, for underneath the hallucinogenic facade is a stinging criticism of American greed and consumerism.

Very funny, albeit not the best Hitchhiker
Reviewed: 2019-08-05
while not my favorite hitchhiker book in terms of story, this one is still very funny, very clever and very much worth your time. The voice performance is great, and the characters of Hactar and Prack are both very memorably weird. Martin Freeman has clearly put in a lot of thought and effort to his narration.

Story
A magical serial killer is on the loose, and gelatinous, otherworldly creatures are infesting the English countryside. Which is making life for the Ministry of Occultism difficult, because magic is supposed to be their best kept secret. After centuries in the shadows, the Ministry is forced to unmask, exposing the country's magical history - and magical citizens - to a brave new world of social media, government scrutiny, and public relations.

Stellar vocal performance, good flow
Reviewed: 2019-03-27
Great narration, clever world building, good balance of comedy and story. The story has a great flow to it and never feels too comedic to be seriously engaging, nor too dry to spark interest. Given how much fun this one was, I'd be very interested in a sequel, even though I suspect Yahtzee won't rush it out anytime soon.

Story
If one George Carlin audio is funny, then two are funnier and three must be funniest, right? That's our thinking behind this new collection. t's a HighBridge library of laugh-out-loud, award-winning recordings featuring George himself performing many of his best bits.

Scattershot thoughts from a great comedian
Reviewed: 2018-09-14
While some of the material will be familiar to people who have seen his standup, George Carlin's little bundle is a great collection of clever, creative snippets with bits lasting anywhere from a few seconds to about ten minutes. His vocal performance is perfect, and really places the audio versions of these books above the written ones. #audible1
