Average Rating: (See all 3 reviews) Format: Hardcover, 205 pages Other Information: Illustrated Published In: United States, October 2005 Quantity Available: 219 Ships within 6-10 days A wild ride to the dark side of Americana The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist's "coverage" of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, Curse features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay and feral artwork for which the Hunter S. Thompson/Ralph Steadman duo became known and loved. This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter's oeuvre, was long out of print, prompting collectors to search high and low for an original copy. TASCHEN's signed, limited edition sold out before the book even hit the stores, but this unlimited version, in a different, smaller format, makes The Curse of Lono accessible to everyone.

Absolutely awesome. Only Hunter could bring the combination of a marathon event and a fishing trip together into such an entertaining read. This hard cover edition is huge, probably twelve inches wide and 16 inches tall which is great for appreciating the fantastic full colour sketches by famous artist Ralph Steadman which are copiusly spread thru the book.
Top value here for a future collectors item and an awesome read.

I really loved this book. The illustrations are amazing and hilarious and the book is brilliantly paced. It is Hunter S Thompson at his best, with his typically crazy behaviour but also is deep social insight. Definitely a book that all fans should own!

This book is by one of the best authors.. has awsome illustrations in
