Negative Positive
Title: Short Tour of Chicago
Review: Like Alex Kotlowitz, I too am an "accidental Chicagoan." As such, I very much enjoyed this book and would have enjoyed more, were it a bit longer. Though I may not share the author's politics, I found each "story"/"chapter" to be very interesting, giving me some insight into history and influences I would not have otherwise known. I was a bit disappointed that he spent so much time on the West and South side of Chicago. It would have been nice to have more focus on the loop and North side as well. Overall, an interesting book especially for anyone who has ever lived in the Windy City. Picking up this book has sparked my interest to pursue other books for a more in-depth look at the history of this ever-changing but always real city.
