I hate vinyl siding, but I liked this book



Let me first start off by saying: I HATE subdivisions and cul de sacs. But this book that I just finished reading made me think differently about them.

Read this book if you were ever curious about any of the following:
-why all houses in new developments look the same
-what's the big deal about Levittown(s)
-urban versus suburban living
-or if you have any interest at all about how housing can influence society

Bottomline: The Last Harvest was perfect mix of facts and narrative, exactly how I like my non-fiction.
