“Hawaii” by James A. Michener

 I quite enjoyed this book and found it to be only slightly dated. Michener surprised me with his broad-mindedness. I expected less from a book written in 1959.

From this book, I now have a much better understanding of Hawaii. I guess it falls into the category of historical fiction, but it is very well researched and is so closely based on real people that it reads like non-fiction. Unti, I read this book, I had never had trouble separating the 2 genres.
