Another Great Trivia Book!

This is another great trivia book by Bill O'Neill. He really knows how to present information in a fun and easy to follow way. I love the trivia at the end of the chapters. I knew a bit about Hawaii but learned so much more from this book. I really enjoy Mr. O'Neill's trivia books and you should really check them out. The narration is done well by Scott Miller. He has a nice voice and reads at a comfortable pace.

Hawaii to the world

This is a great way to learn about the beautiful islands of Hawaii. It is more than just a place for honeymoons and vacations, but also full of cultural heritage with a deep history. The trivias are fun and narrated in a way that keeps the exciting energy of a trivia. Nice book.

Not quite what I expected!

This seems to be more suited to 6th or 7th graders. I was looking for an informative book about Hawaii for an upcoming luau, but this didn't provide much for my purpose

Loved it!

I enjoy learning but don’t always enjoy nonfiction as I am easily bored. Not with this book! I have never been to Hawaii, but it is on my bucket list. This is an excellent collection of fun facts and trivia on many many aspects of Hawaii from customs to history to ghosts, it has a bit of everything. I did not get bored and was surprised when it was over. Interesting and enjoyable. The narration was well done as well! I look forward to funding more in the series!

Fun-filled facts.

First, I have to start off by stating that I got this book free of charge in exchange for a review, but as I always state, this does not in any way impact my review. My reviews are always honest and my own.

Another fun-filled book of fun facts. This one was filled with some quite astonishing facts about Hawaii. I was quite ignorant about the history of Hawaii.

Get Ready to Visit Hawaii or Find Inspiration!

I have listened to a number of Mr. O'Neill's "Great Book" series. This one is in the same mold of the others - fun, easy and interesting. Listen and learn - fun facts, history, weird stuff and truly amazing attractions! Well done again Bill!

Hawaii is even more fascinating.

Listening to this book is fun. The most fascinating aspect is the way in which each fact is presented. The narrator did a good job by making the entire listen conversational, yet informative. Hawaii is a beautiful place, but according to the facts from this book, it is much more than the paradise state of the United States.

This book was given to me for free. I have left this review in return and of my own volition.
