"Lots of good information."

"Really great book!"
"Lots of good information but the way the book is put together iso confusing and makes it hard to find an attraction if you don't know where, in Chicago, it is."

"Great info and insight, with just the right amount of the author's personality included."
"I would only rate it OK...The book skips around quite a bit,no real flow to it and failed to capture what I thought was most important."
"Bought as a gift for someone who is laid up."
"My brother and mom are avid Bulls fans, so I got them this to share for Christmas."
"Very little insight, rather than being a fly on the wall you get pretty uninspiring stories that either indicate the Bulls were a pretty boring team off the court or this journalist has difficulty calibrating what insightful really is."
