I seem to remeber written or said somewhere that at some point Thruston decided to stop to write down his theorems in order not to repell mathematicians from his field (maybe this is not correct?). I am really curious if now 25-30 years later there is some nice source, book, or notes, where it is possible to learn some basic ideas about the proof of the fact that Haken manifolds admit a hyperbolic strucutre? Maybe some of his ideas got a more accesible explanation? Of course his beautifull notes http://www.msri.org/publications/books/gt3m/ exist, but they don't go so far.
