5.0 out of 5 stars
What an unusual, interesting book., February 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Going to Chicago (Hardcover)
"Going to Chicago" tells an unusual story set in a time and place when even the bad guys were pretty innocent. It's a "coming of age" tale about how two friends in a rural Ohio town, saddled with one bothersome little brother, set off to see the wonders of the age at the Chicago World's Fair. Through the adventures of these boys-becoming-men, the author shows the power and importance of pursuing dreams, and the meaning of friendship. Beyond that, it's a good yarn, full of unique characters--you'll love the Bonnie and Clyde wannabes who take the boys on the ride of their young lives. The book is a quick read and well worth the time and monetary investment.

JD Salinger would envy this period coming-of-age masterpiece, February 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Going to Chicago (Hardcover)
Rob Levandoski's "Going to Chicago" is a must read for every avid reader of period novels and coming-of-age tales. Levandoski's prose is breezy and metaphoric, his story takes more twists and turns than US Route 20 and his research would delight a university tenure review committee!
