The content was great! For someone like me who knew little about the history of Hawaii, this was interesting stuff. The structure of the book does not make for a compelling can't-put-it-down read so I dipped into it, set it aside, and came back after awhile. Good writing.

This is not a scholarly text and the informal style may put people off. However, it covers a great deal of Hawaiian history and sheds light on the colonization of the 50th state.
