Book Review By Kristy Pastore
The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson

The Rum Diary takes place in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the late 1950s. Kemp, the narrator gets involved with a woman who is with another man. There is a lot of jealousy and treachery in the novel. Many drinks are poured so there is a bit of violence too.
