What is the author's style in Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s by Hunter S. Thompson?

Although Thompson is a journalist, he almost always writes from a first person point of view. Thompson interjects himself heavily into his own stories, which is one of the main characteristics of the Gonzo style of journalism Thompson pioneered in the 1960s and early 1970s. However, Thompson is not completely reliable as a journalist. Many of the things he describes are either exaggerated or never happened it all, and it is up to the reader to read between the lines as to what is fact and fiction. This style creates a kind of exaggerated version of reality that is more capable of capturing how an event feels than a traditional piece of journalism.
