Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell
4.0

As always, an irreverent, accessible, entertainingly told tale of our American History. This time Vowell focuses on Hawaii, her history, and how she became part of America. I will admit that I do not have any special interest in Hawaiian history, but I always enjoy Sarah Vowell's perspective and story-telling style. So I chose to listen to this one. The audio is very fun, with some familiar voices portraying the historical figures whose letters, speeches, journals, etc. are quoted in the text. As always, informative, thoughtful, and enjoyable.
