The Curse of Lono is a nonfiction book written by Hunter S. Thompson, an American journalist and author. The book was initially published in 1983 and it recounts Thompson's experiences covering the 1980 running of the Honolulu Marathon in Hawaii. Thompson, who is known for his unconventional writing style and Gonzo journalism, approaches the marathon as a journalist and participant, immersing himself in the event and its accompanying festivities. Throughout the book, he intertwines his personal experiences with Hawaiian history and mythology, exploring themes of luck, fate, and the darker side of paradise. The title of the book, "The Curse of Lono," refers to the ancient Hawaiian god of peace, fertility, and music.
The title of the book, "The Curse of Lono," refers to the ancient Hawaiian god of peace, fertility, and music. Lono was believed to bring abundance and good fortune to the islands, but Thompson adopts a more cynical perspective, suggesting that Lono's presence also carried a curse. Thompson's narrative not only captures the chaos and excess of the marathon but also delves into the complexities of Hawaiian culture, tourism, and the impact of Western influence.

He explores the tensions between the local Hawaiian population and the influx of tourists and developers, highlighting the loss of traditional culture and the commodification of Hawaiian identity. With his signature wit and satirical tone, Thompson provides a unique and often humorous perspective on the marathon and its participants. He spares no criticism, mocking the self-importance and absurd behavior of the runners and those involved in the event. "The Curse of Lono" is not just a mere recounting of a marathon; it goes beyond the surface to explore deeper themes of life, death, and the clash between native traditions and modern Western culture. Thompson's vivid descriptions, humorous anecdotes, and insightful commentary make this book a captivating and thought-provoking read..
Reviews for "The Wrath of Lono: The Curse that Cannot be Escaped"
1. Jane Doe - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Curse of Lono" as it was recommended to me by a friend. However, I found the book to be quite disappointing. The story lacked depth and meaning, and the characters were poorly developed. The pacing was slow, making it difficult for me to stay engaged. Overall, I was expecting much more from this book and was left feeling unsatisfied.
2. John Smith - 1 star - "Curse of Lono" was one of the worst books I have ever read. The writing style was confusing and hard to follow, with unnecessary tangents that added nothing to the story. The plot meandered and felt disjointed, making it difficult to connect with any of the characters or care about what was happening. I found myself skimming through paragraphs and skipping ahead just to get through this tedious read. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
3. Sarah Thompson - 2 stars - I struggled to get through "Curse of Lono" as it failed to capture my interest. The humor felt forced and overdone, which made it difficult for me to connect with the story. Additionally, the excessive use of profanity was unnecessary and distracting. Overall, I felt like this book was trying too hard to be edgy and funny, but it fell flat for me. I wouldn't recommend it to others unless they have a specific taste for this type of humor.
