Unfamiliar Fishes by Sarah Vowell

3.0

---

I liked this book because I felt like I didn't know too much about the history of the annexation of Hawaii and the polynesian islands. I thought Sarah Vowell did a good job keeping the history sprinkled with jokes and funny comments. On audio, you can't help but appreciate that she is the voice of Violet from the Incredibles (my 2 yr old's favorite movie) and the book sounded like it was coming from a smart sarcastic teenager with some other celebrity cameo's.
