    <body><![CDATA[Tracy Kidder is so skillful.  He takes the simplest of stories - in this case the story of a couple wanting to build their dream home and the way it all gets done - and reveals every layer, every nuance so that it reads like riveting drama.

    <body><![CDATA[Tracy Kidder is a wonderful non-fiction author.  I have enjoyed everything of his I've read, but House is my favorite.  It's the story of a well healed professional couple who engage an architect to design their New England dream home, and they hire a contractor to build it.  Now doesn't that sound ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3555490">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I put off reading this for years since it was recommended by my mother, but once I finally read it I realized she had a point.  It's a really interesting book about the building of a house in massachusets in the 80s from architect's plans through to the moving in.  It's mostly about the people, but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11808969">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was so funny - how the couple having the house built saw things so differently than the builders in charge of the project.  It was neat to have some insight into the process of the project but it was so much more about the people involved.  How the builders loved their craft, or ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28528536">more...</a>]]></body>
