Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
2.0


This was selected by our book club. Slight but unformative. Nothing much to recommend it from a literary standpoint. If collecting historical facts in a bloodless, sort of Rain Man-esque sort of way, this may be your bag.

Relates the invasion of Hawaii by American missionaries, then businessmen, then the U.S. government.

Two thumbs meh.
