maliajackson 's review for:
Unfamiliar Fishes
by Sarah Vowell
Hawaii is definitely one of my very favorite places I've ever been, so I was looking forward to this book. There's great stuff in here for sure, but I feel like Sarah Vowell let the information get in the way of the story a little bit. It's really quite dense for such a short and seemingly casual book. In any case, it does make me want to redouble my efforts to take in more history next time I am in Hawaii (not that I know when that will be, but I hope it will be soon!). I focus my attention almost entirely on nature there and I forget to appreciate the history.
