Hunter and Ralph go large in the South Sea's February 7, 2001
30 out of 30 found this review helpful
Combine Hunter S Thompson's fluid gonzo style and Ralph Steadman's caustic art and you have an adventure book in the mould of Treasure Island (on acid). Hunter covers a marathon in Hawaii and some how manages to press gang Ralph and his family into helping him figure out this 'running thing'. The site of several thousand Japanese running past Pearl harbour on the 7 December (the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbour) is not lost on our intrepid reporter. However, the marathon soon takes second place as Hunter embarks on a mad adventure that includes a cast of: fishermen, transvestites, real estate agents, the usual assortment of drug users and Lono (the Hawaiian god of excess and abundance). This brilliantly underrated book is a must read for any Thompson fan and if your not a Thompson fan you soon will be once you read this book. I would give this book ten stars if I could. BRILLIANT
