Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell

3.0

---

I like Sarah Vowell, but I'm getting a bit tired of the religious pilgrim focus. I much preferred her take on American history that included so much more of her participation and discussion, rather than analysis of the facts at hand. But that being said, this book is very much a version of American history that I can't claim to have ever heard before. And you can't deny it's well-written and researched, even if it wasn't my cup of tea. When I finally get to travel to Hawaii, I'll pack this as my tour guide.
