I have other "A Day in the Life of..." books, and have enjoyed the unique photos. However, to say that this one fell short of my expectations is an understatement. To make a beautiful photo book of Hawaii should be an easy task. How the photographers managed to fill this book with pictures that don't capture any of Hawaii's beauty is beyond me. If I knew nothing of Hawaii and saw this book, I would have no desire to go there. I found the images to be boring, colorless, lifeless and, dare I say it? - unattractive. If these people had been hired to make a brochure to encourage people to come to Hawaii, they would have been fired. This is by far the worst "A Day in the Life of..." book that I have seen. It is so bad that I am unwilling to keep it, and will be donating it to my local library ( people will at least be able to preview it before checking it out, and will not have paid money for it if they are disappointed).
