Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell

3.0

Really more like 3.5 stars. I enjoyed this book. Sarah Vowell is a funny writer and because of all my "This American Life" exposure I always hear her amusing distinctive voice in my head when I read her work. The topic, the history of Hawaii, is also something I knew very little about and so I learned a lot from the book. I would even recommend it to anyone who is about the visit the islands. It was a quick read too! But even saying all that, it still dragged a little, which is something I have never thought about any of Vowell's other books. So while the book is worth reading (especially if you're about to go to Hawaii), I would recommend all of Vowell's other books before this one.
