Michener's research, as always, was thorough, and made this most enjoyable book a learning tool as well. I made it my goal back then (20 years ago) to see Hawaii in person, and have done so many times. It was this book that helped me understand (as best as possible) the native Hawaiian culture and it's people, making my trips there everlastingly rewarding.I have read it three time over the years and will read it again. ( )Great historical saga about Hawaii over the years - who lived there and what it was like. Engaging and entertaining. Lets face it - you have to be a certain personality to enjoy a book like this. Someone who pays attention to detail. I thought this book was fantastic. When you turn the last page, you really feel like you've accomplished something. Like you have just been on a big journey. This book is certainly an investment of your time and attention and it is very well worth it. Good Michener historical fiction novel with a worthy subject. This is a true "guilty pleasure." I only read it once and won't read it again, but I gotta admit, it made an impact. Quite enhanced the movie. no reviews | add a review
