Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
3.0

I thought the subject was interesting but I had a hard time getting through the book. The way it’s told feels very disjointed with an unclear throughline, which is fine, but made it feel like I should be doing a Great Courses history of Hawaii rather than a popular nonfiction book. It became a bit of a slog, which is a shame because it’s such a rich story.
