A $500 House in Detroit: Rebuilding an Abandoned Home and an American City by Drew PhilpMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book! Drew does a great job in describing the insider view of living in Detroit. As a Detroiter myself, I've searched for books that accurately describe the current climate of rebuilding the city. While Mark Binelli attempted doing this in his book "Detroit City is the Place to Be", he failed to fully flesh out what it's like living here full-time or embody the dream for our future. I feel Drew Philp accurately described both of these things. Plus, he's just a all-round nice guy in person too! Highly highly suggest for anyone wanting to know what it takes to rebuild an abandoned house in a "forgotten" neighborhood of Detroit.
