Entertaining reading for those of us who like to dream

Have you ever dreamed of moving in to the home of your dreams in a blissful, secluded location that spoke to your soul and tickled all your senses? Oh, but that's the last chapter. This book, sometimes comically, mostly profoundly chronicles the account of one man's dream to transform a largely unbuildable, but wonderfully located piece of land into his dream. I truly enjoyed it. But, strangely I almost passed it by, because what could I possibly have in common with an architect whose likely approach to such a dream must certainly come not from his heart but from his profession. I was wrong. Small town politics, mother nature's wrath, and more did not deter the author from his dream. And he accomplished it with uncompromised stewardship to the land he loved. I have to admit there were times I was rooting for the home-town folks. But I appreciated the honesty that came across with every word the author wrote. I was only left wishing there was a regional map on the inside cover that marked with a star the exact location of the dream home chronicled in the book. If you're planning to build (especially in Door County, Wisconsin) or even just dreaming, read the book, have a few laughs, sigh a few sighs, and realize that if it's your dream - it's worth it.
