I really liked the idea in this book. I also liked seeing the tedious words of the Dutch colonists being expressed in this book. All around I thought it was a decent book. I do think the author was a little too all encompassing in how he chose to portray the colonies works from the records left behind. This was what made the book difficult to read for me. I would think this a like able and informative book for anyone though!
