My head is spinning!!! There is so much I didn't know about Hawaii!!!! I had to read the book twice to take it all in. One thing. It is the only state that had a Kingdom and rulers and not one but two palaces!!! Lots of movies were made there. There are all kinds of laws you have to follow if you want to live there or if you want to visit there. One law is there are absolutely no snakes in Hawaii. It's a Class C Felony to have one or transport one. I really like that law because I hate snakes!! That's just me meaning no disrespect to people who like them. Just don't bring them to Hawaii LOL Another thing We all know former President Obama was born there but what I didn't know was he was Nicknamed Barry when he lived there and it remained with him in his presidency. Another thing I really like is each of the 8 islands all have their own color of sand. They have red, yellow, and even green. All I can say is read the book. It's is truly fascinating like all of Bill O'Neill's State Books. I now know I need to put Hawaii on my Bucket List!!" by Jeanne Kemp ----- "This book, about our 50th state starts off with the state's history, and progresses on to leis, President Obama and other state trivia. At the end of each chapter, are short, multiple choice questions, to gauge if you've got the materials. Overall, a good reference for anyone doing a school report on the state, or just to find out more details about the state. Recommended." by D. Dalal ----- "Arrived quickly, well packaged, for part of Hubby's Xmas present. He loves trivia and facts. So did I until he started reading this book. Now I'm bombarded daily with facts and figures and he just won't shut up! If you have a fact loving friend I would definitely recommend it. Just wear ear plugs afterwards;)" by KiwiLA ----- "Very good knowledge here . I thought I knew something about Hawaii until this book. Had been discovered long time ago but, not officially until the Europeans in the form of James Cook did. He named them the Sandwich Islands. This & tons more information one will discover by reading this book ! Super job Mr McNeill" by D. West ----- "Once again, Mr. O'Neill has done a masterful job of writing. Many of us may know something here and there about Hawaii but here he fills in the void of general knowledge and appreciation for perhaps the most exotic state in the U.S. Superb piece of work!!" by R. L Neal ----- "I bought this for my husband, who loves the islands and loves trivia. He read me nearly the whole book over the course of 2 evenings and is still sharing factoids from it." by PK ----- "Yet another of Trivia Bills impressive works- being a Brit it is a bit of an eye opener to the litt
