Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
3.0

Sarah Vowell is always insightful and off beat and entertaining, but I felt like this book was a (rather brief) continuation of THE WORDY SHIPMATES in a different geographical setting with, of course, some political shades of THE PARTLY CLOUDY PATRIOT (but only in snippets). I'm headed to Hawaii (again) later in the month, so I found the book timely, at times informative, and, periodically, amusing. But I can't put this one in the same class as ASSASSINATION VACATION in terms of originality, creativity, or thematic cohesion. Still, well worth the time, just not my favorite of hers....
