I loved the stories and how weird they were. I got the book in Kauai so the hanalei bay story was especially interesting. The first few stories were hard to understand but I think if I reread them I could understand them better. Of course I have to mention that this book doesn’t get five stars because of the way women are written. The vast majority are in relationships and breasts are very often part of the description of a woman. I could get past that and still enjoy the stories and messages within them.
