4.0 out of 5 stars Good background info - reads like a story, May 27, 2000
This review is from: Compass American Guides : Hawai'i (Paperback)
This book makes an interesting read, even if you don't plan on going to Hawaii - I give it four stars because of two things: the irrelevant underwater photos, and the lack of detail. This guidebook has murky underwater b&w photos of dolphins or whales or something for chapter headings - pretty much useless. The photos of natural Hawaii places (for instance the two page spread of Wainamamahea (sp.?) Beach in Maui) are beautiful, and more should have been included. It's best to buy a Let's Go Hawaii or Rough Guide to go along with this book...it glosses over a lot of the details of actually having a decent trip.

The stories of the people of Hawaii, and the vignettes about each town make this book a worthwhile purchase. This Compass series of guidebooks is great.
