"[George Ray] Hill and his writers had a mighty-hard coconut to crack. About as cinematic as the Honolulu telephone directory, [James] Michener's epic [Hawaii] was subdivided into four laboriously correlated novels that described Hawaii's four main ethnic groups (Polynesian, White, Chinese, Japanese) and presented an exhaustive social, political, religious and even geological history of the islands since the Paleolithic period. From this embarrassment of snitches, Hill & Co. selected two strong narrative threads and with them delineated a simple, impressive picture of how God-fearing but life-hating missionaries destroyed the warm brown souls they came to save."
-From "Shouts & Muumuus,"? Time Magazine, Oct. 21, 1966
