  • Summary: ho hum
  • Comment: This little manual does consist of interesting bits of Hawaiian history, but so do all books purporting to be "guides" to the islands. It was billed as a "must read" for newcomers and locals alike. I bought it thinking it contained something new, but it did not. Please refer to the title of this review: ho hum.

  • Summary: Island Life 101 is terrific
  • Comment: -- it really gives a good overview of what it is like to live in Hawaii. It gives a great summary of Hawaiian history and then relates what you read in the history to what's going on today in the islands. Lots of practical tips about how to survive in the islands, both on a social level and in terms of coping with the high cost of living. This writer really knows Hawaii and does a good job of sharing what she knows. I would think tourists would be interested as well as people who have just moved to Hawaii.

  • Summary: A must read for those visting or moving to Maui
  • Comment: Of the various books I have read about Maui, Jill Engledow's is by far the most informative.She paints an excellent picture of the culture and history of Maui. You gain so much insight and understanding of the Island and it's people, she actually puts you there and provides such great insights that I have not found in the texts. Alas. don't leave home with out FIRST reading Maui 101.

  • Summary: Maui by an Insider
  • Comment: Most books about exotic places are written by people who come from afar, do their homework, and go home to write about it. Nothing wrong with that. But an insider picks up the subtleties that others miss. Jill Engledow has lived on Maui most of her adult life and wrote for the Maui News for many years. She covered every aspect of island life and then some. This book is meant for people thinking about moving to Maui or who have just landed with all their earthly posessions looking for a new life. "Maui 101" contains all kinds of useful tips that will make settling on the Valley Isle much easier. Life is different in Hawaii, and it sure helps to have a detailed guide for new residents at your finger tips.
