As a non-Dutch person who grew up in Michigan and now a world famous comedian living in Los Angeles, I think very little about architecture. In fact, I think very little about anything that doesn't involve me. But on a friend's recommendation, I picked up a copy of Veneklasen Brick. And what can I say? I loved it!
Mr. Douma clearly knows his way around Michigan. Anyone who grew up there will love the references to Lake Macatawa or the humble beginnings of Holland (the city in Michigan, silly!) History buffs will cheer at the in depth analysis of the tumultuous lives of these settlers. And comedians, such as myself, will love the long funny Dutch words.
A+ Mr. Douma. Sequel anytime soon? Cuz I know a guy...
