j_f 's review for:

Hawaii by James A. Michener
2.0

I appreciated all that this book taught me about the complex history of Hawaii. I think I read it in the right point in my life where it didn't bother me that it was conveyed in an almost nonfictional way.

The plot of this book is not really exciting but it is panoramic. That means it tells a lot but the writing style is not beautiful. The characters are therefore not at the forefront.

I wouldn't recommend this book to most people! I have a feeling it would be best received by people above 40 years old, or older, who were raised in a less fast-paced way.
