Reader Reviews
Ian MacMillan is a writer from Hawai'i, and while some of these short stories have that "local flavor", you don't have to be a kama'aina to enjoy his writing style. Each story is very unique, and MacMillan definitely knows how to use words to its fullest potential. Subtitled "Stories Of Hawai'i", the short stories all have to do with people in Hawai'i. Not only do you want to read them, but you want to get to know them too. It builds up to the last story, a novella about a man who still struggles with the death of his daughter. He eventually joins a support group and finds the others there are just as bad as he is. He finds someone, a woman, and they manage to get along. But along the way he comes across things that steer him towards another direction. I'll stop before I give away the whole story, but at one point, MacMillan writes the story so well you almost feel like you're moving in "slow motion" in the appropriate spots. An excellent book that will you not be able to put down.
