Above is another review of Finns in Michigan sent to me by the good folks at Michigan State University Press. This review was done by Dr. Mika Roinila, a professor at Bethel College in Mishawaka, Indiana. A kind of cool thing about this review is that it was done for the Finnish quarterly Siirtolaisuus/Migration, which is published by The Institute of Migration located in Turku, Finland. Dr. Roinila did a great job on the review. He wrote about some things he liked in the book, and also gave a good critique of what he would have liked to see more of in the book. As an author, I really enjoy reading a good, well thought out and well-written critique because I recognize there is always room to grow as a historian and writer. Critiques are a good chance to learn if you will allow yourself to listen.

I'm pretty damned impressed with the fact that you've come out with a book ALREADY in your first year as a Ph.D student. That is fucking awesome, Gary. I greet you at the start of what will be a successful career. I think you will deliver to our currently emaciating program a significant bounty of which the tummy-growling go-getters will eagerly partake while those preoccupied with their ivory issues will fix a grin and make their way to their nearest acolyte. Congratulations on what appears to me to be a work with great real-world worth.
