Summary: Growing up Haole in Hawaii
Comment: These short stories will hang with you long after you put the book down. The stories pull the reader thru time, adolescence, and growth in a young caucasian man's life on Winward Oahu, and contain the most tender, graphic, honest, and engaging descriptions of what it is like growing up haole in Hawaii. The spearfishing events blend seamlessly and beautifully into the stories and convey the best aspects of this rare sport. The author steps into deep characters so easily one could not guess they were written by the same author. He's a son, a lover, a father, a bachelor, and a homeless child. Enjoy this book in an afternoon and you'll enjoy winward Oahu for the rest of your life. And you'll feel more about race relations in Hawaii Nei.

Summary: Finding the truth, maybe your own
Comment: While not as strong as "Exiles In Time", "Squid Eye" is another quality work from writer Ian MacMillan. The main link between each of these short stories is the love of the ocean. There are a number of metaphors throughout, but it's not a fishing book. These events at the beach and out in the ocean only add texture to the main stories, some dealing with the loss of a husband, others touching on watching your daughter getting married. Powerful stuff.
