carmentoft 's review for:
Unfamiliar Fishes
by Sarah Vowell
I always enjoy an encounter with Sarah Vowell, from her audio books to TV interviews. She has a unique voice and a fun sense of timing. She sneaks in tiny anecdotes about her nephew into the story (for example, he went to Hawaii with her while she was researching this book. He did not appreciate hiking to one of the historic sites.) that add to her personal brand of storytelling.
The history of Hawaii was interesting, if not depressing. Basically, the Christian missionaries were arrogant and the US government (officials) were assholes and we destroyed Hawaii so we could park our boats there.
