I love Hawaii (the state) and liked Hawaii (the book) okay - I don't know if it's a shift in "political correctness" or what - I found his "preachiness" heavy-handed and in many cases, wrong-minded.

The characters are very well-drawn however, and you care very much what happens to each of them, all the while wanting to shout at them that they're messing up something wonderful!
