It’s almost as if you are sitting right there with them, having a coffee, relaxing, chatting, enjoying each other’s company. Then you realize, you’re only “reading” the story, not living it. That’s just good writing. Any time the author can ask questions in a way that makes both the subject and the reader feel so completely at ease, is something to behold. People tend to open up with this writer more than they do with seasoned professionals. They tend to just become very robotic in their answers and only give what is asked of them. But with Ms Garcia, they seem to reveal more of themselves, which in turn, is a wonderful gift for all of us who read it. This was definitely a fun read and it makes me want to learn more about Ms Neill and her work. I didn’t realize she was involved in so much of today’s cinema as she is. She is quite the icon, but in this writing…she shows us, she’s just Ve.

The writer of such a piece has so much to live up to. Will they do his memory justice, will they be able to convey the true spirit of the person they are commissioned to write about, will they be able to tell the story in so many words or less. A hard task when that subject is Hunter S. Thompson, a man whose words echoed so much to a generation. This writer has done that and more. It has been written in such a way that those few unfortunate souls, who have yet to learn about Hunter and his accomplishments, will be pushing and pawing their way to the theater to view this masterpiece. This write up with its excerpts from director Gibney and Hunter’s dear friend Johnny Depp, shows the reader that this is not just an autobiographical film about an author that lived life on the edge. But that this is a story about a man, who was dearly loved by all who had the good fortune to be invited in for a closer look. If the trailer isn’t enough to get you to the theater, then reading this article should bring you there with friends in tow. A must see and this is a must read!
