“At least I had heard the name of this princess. I found what the haoles had done to the indigenous Hawaiians pretty despicable. It was a bit of tragic story, but interesting. I had no idea that her father was a Scot.”

“This book was OK. It was a bit boring and I found it pretty hard to keep on reading it. But I live by the rule, once you start a book you've got to finish it. I wouldn't recommend this book but it was interesting thought. I just thought it didn't have enough action in the middle of it.”
