A review by sscalavera
The Curse of Lono by Hunter S. Thompson

4.0

This was an odd one. It feels a little like a collage, with Thompson jumping around a lot, and the resulting effect is that you don’t quite get the smack of a conclusion that appears in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. On the other hand, Steadman’s art is gorgeous (there’s a reason he’s co-credited - a lot of the images in the book are two-page illustrations, full of colour and odd detail) and there are some really choice lines. It demonstrates that Thompson’s gonzo spirit wasn’t limited to the seventies, and that his anarchic sensibilities continued until his death, and it’s worth reading if you can find a copy that isn’t incredibly expensive.
