What is the author's style in Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson?

Hunter's writing is similar to that of a "rock-n-roll journalist." For readers who like reading about politics, Thompson's account is a cacophony of disjointed messages. For those interested in stories and pop-culture it reads as a sort of "venturing icon." It borders upon a kind of modern American folk heroism as strange as that sounds. Here is one of these upwardly mobile, restless, Freak liberals making his way into higher echelons of society. Here is a brave lad of the common people, daring to approach the shark-toothed politicians. Everyone is intimidated by their own leaders, even when they do trust them. The people may not feel fear every moment, but that is one cause behind the exclusionary practices. As such, readers are happy that Hunter Thompson has gone out there and interacted with people who, while curious about them, readers are also afraid of them.
