Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
3.0

I had absolutely no knowledge about Hawaii before reading this book, and I'm glad I started here. Sarah Vowell always makes history reading much more fun than usual - but I feel that her presence is lacking in this book. I liked to imagine her narrating her previous books in her wonderfully sarcastic tone, but she seems to take a back seat to the material for this one.
