This review is from: A Day in the Life of Hawaii (Hardcover)

This book was written for a woman that was born and raised in Hawaii to capture a day in Hawaii as a daydream. This book has 221 pages of amazing photography and were all taken in one 24 hour period of time. Every photo has a detailed description. Book includes photos from Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu and Kauai. This book really captures the beauty of the islands and the beauty of the Hawaiian people themselves. Well worth the money to purchase this book for all of you lovers of Hawaii.

Item arrived well in advance of Christmas...very happy about that and the book was in excellent shape as the shipper decribed. My wife is from Hawaii and had mentioned earlier this month she remembered looking at this book with Mom so many years ago. Hopefully, it will be a nice memeory for her to relive.

This review is from: A Day in the Life of Hawaii (Hardcover)

I have other "A Day in the Life of..." books, and have enjoyed the unique photos. However, to say that this one fell short of my expectations is an understatement. To make a beautiful photo book of Hawaii should be an easy task. How the photographers managed to fill this book with pictures that don't capture any of Hawaii's beauty is beyond me. If I knew nothing of Hawaii and saw this book, I would have no desire to go there. I found the images to be boring, colorless, lifeless and, dare I say it? - unattractive. If these people had been hired to make a brochure to encourage people to come to Hawaii, they would have been fired. This is by far the worst "A Day in the Life of..." book that I have seen. It is so bad that I am unwilling to keep it, and will be donating it to my local library ( people will at least be able to preview it before checking it out, and will not have paid money for it if they are disappointed).
