November 08, 2009: We loved this book. It's mile-marker by mile-marker review of the Big Island was invaluable. We found all of the places as noted with some literary bon mots along the way. But this is the book the Hawaii residents love to hate for two reasons -- the authors may be a bit free with other people's property rights, so if you're reading cross-country, really do pay attention to no trespassing signs. And second, they really do tell you some of the secrets of the island. It's as thoroughly researched as any static publication can be. We used it prior to our trip to make plans and multiple times daily while there touring the island. It was worth every penny we spent on it.
