The first story was brilliant, showing the contrast between tourist and local. The tourist, who isn't interested in the people, land and history, but only in their own enjoyment. The second story is about violence and revenge and men. I'm still digesting what I just read.

The third story is about a couple (white guy born and raised in Hawaii and a Hawaiian girl who grew up on the mainland but has now moved back to the island for the first time). It was an abrupt story and how they handle a stray dog differently. Forth story was a list of rules for a drinking game. The fifth story felt very autobiographical. A Hawaiian man who loses a child and is torn between old and new family.
