Book Review of Unfamiliar Fishes

Unfamiliar Fishes
Unfamiliar Fishes
Author: Sarah Vowell
Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on


This was a book chosen by our book club and for the first time ever, no one was able to complete the book. We really, really tried. The writing we found to be condescending and the story line fragmented. All of this being far from what we read in reviews as funny, entertaining and informative. It appeared to be more along the lines of excerpts from her research notes to be a book, rather than a book itself. We were all terribly disappointed.
