Customer Reviews

Better for those who have never lived in the U.S., but...

Well worth the cost. If you are planning to move to Chicago, or have never lived in the United States, this work could be invaluable.

Informative and interesting

Well done to the author of this book. The book is very hard to put down once you start reading it. The author has a complete understanding of what life is like in Chicago, the book makes enjoyable reading, and the author covers all aspects of working life in Chicago. The book is complemented by including pictures in and around Chicago, and gives helpful advice on working life in the city.Well done for producing such an accurate description of Chicago!

Very helpful book for those new to Chicago

I've just relocated here from abroad and I can't praise this book enough for helping me to find my bearings and get on my feet in Chicago. The author knows and loves the city, and as a bonus, he has also provided many fascinating insights into urban Americans and how they interact with each other and with foreigners. I would recommend this book to anyone unreservedly who intends to make Chicago their home, whether for a month or for years.
