Hunter S. Thompson's "The Rum Diary" is, in many ways, the Wolf of Wall Street for journalism. Its hedonistic, alcohol-drenched characters are allegedly based off Thompson's real-life escapades as a young reporter - and the book's 2011 movie adaptation was the catalyst for Johnny Depp (a close friend of Thompson) and Amber Heard's relationship. 
For the season finale of Book Blab, Simone and Audrey dive into Thompson's story of freelance American journalist Paul Kemp in 1950's Puerto Rico and all of its rum-induced, outrageous, and often reprehensible glory.
