Summary: Not the best, not the worst.
Review: I picked up this book in the Barnes and Noble discount bin a few weeks ago. Seeing as how I am currently living in Chicago, I thought it would be a rather interesting read.

Well, I was partially correct.

First off - for readers that abhor poor editing, don't buy this book. It is self-published and has had little to no editing whatsoever. Reading this book was quite painful, from the misplaced punctuation marks to the unfortunate misspellings. The lack of editing made it difficult to want to continue reading.

That aside, the stories are lackluster at best. You'd find better confessions on some of the HBO shows of the same topic. While I'm sure the author's experiences were quite a study in human relations, he fails to effectively communicate the humor or interest in some of the tales he tells.

All in all, I wouldn't consider the book a complete waste of my time, but I don't think I'd choose to read it again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting book about Chicago
Review: Mr. Oranika has done an amazing job in describing the various adventures that people go through in the city of Chicago. It is funny, as well as intelligently written. People who live in Chicago and outside of Illinois will love this text.
