This update emphasizes the islands' exotic allure, visiting prehistoric temples, native craft shops, peaceful beaches, and volcanic wonders -- and showing a Hawaii that few tourists see.
Useful for getting ideas for an upcoming trip. It was recommended by a friend or else I would have solely planned online, it was a nice surprise that there were stops on here that I hadn't read about elsewhere.
I like the idea of help locating the less-visited attractions, but I didn't find Pager's book easy to use. And the format is off-putting. (Lots of long, narrative paragraphs with few subject headings to break up the text or offer reader's assistance in skimming.)
