I just got The Descendants on audio. I've sort of cheated and saw the movie first, but I'm very excited to listen to this.
I saw the movie first too, I hate it when that happens! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the book.
I've read Moloka'i at the suggestion of a friend and didn't care for it. Each chapter is a tragedy so it was too sad for me. My mother-in-law would probably love it though!
I also read the sequel to Molokai, about Honolulu. They were okay. But this post reminds me how much I adored Christopher Moore's novel Fluke!!!
Captain - that one didn't sound great to me.
Jeanne - I should read that. I've only read his book Fool.
I was hoping to love Moloka'i:(
BookQuoter - I haven't read it either, but maybe after your recent trip there it will have more meaning for you.
