Unfamiliar Fishes
by Sarah Vowell
Sadly, I couldn't make it all the way through the audio version of this book. I quit somewhere around the 67% mark. This book can't seem to decide if it's history or social commentary or some sort of random travelogue, and the lack of continuity makes it especially difficult to listen to. The history should be fascinating, but it's presented in such a scattered way that it makes little sense here. The narration of the audiobook is pretty grating, and the presence of celebrity narrators is kind of weird and distracting. I'd like to read a good, engrossing history of Hawaii - but Unfamiliar Fishes isn't it.
