What's lame is lame and what's fun is fun, these reviews are blunt but funny. I've lived in Chicago over ten years - and think the people who had a problem with this book must not get out often.
Dead-on reviews
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I've had a copy of this book and enjoyed reading the often-snarky reviews, but I didn't really know how reliable the book was. I just showed the book to a friend of mine as we were driving into the city, and she confirmed the accuracy. She's worked in the city for years and has been to many of the places mentioned. She was howling at the descriptions because they were witty and astute. We even stopped in at one of the dive bars that night, and darned if it wasn't painfully on the money. A great guide to anyone looking for a good night out. I just wish they had more of these for other cities.
