I wouldn't get to hung up on George's review. I don't think reviewing books is his thing. You want to talk about a guy who just rides....http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/lifestylesearn-local- ride-global/Content?oid=923718. He also watched 70 films in twelve days AND watched every inning of the 75 Cubs at Wrigley (they finished in last place). I'd like to read a book about that!
