This book is great. I was reading this when my flight got diverted due to pilot selfishness, and I was the only calm person. I thought these angry NYers were going to lynch those guys. It puts one in a real zen frame of mind. It also makes you want to hike in Molokai.
Truthfully, I read this book because a guy I liked told it was incredible. I started reading it on a Winter Vacation and was totally swept away by it. It is truly a life changing book. It is a very interesting book, and a fun story! Definitely recommend it to everyone!
