Book Reviews of The Cubs Fan's Guide to Happiness
Book Review: Absolutely Hilarious! Great Fun for Cubs Fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
Eversince recieving my copy of The Cubs Fan's Guide to Happiness, I haven't been able to put it down or stop laughing! Just like with the local "spoof" newspaper "The Heckler" which circulates around Wrigleyville, George has you laughing from start to finish! Despite the hilarity of the book, there are also some heart wrenching truths about what it takes to be a CUBS fan (mainly lots of beer!) With its many quizzes, notable quotes and ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS drawings, I can say that this is one of the best books I have ever read. With chapter titles such as "At Least You're Not a Sox Fan" and "Winning Really Isn't Everything" I think it really touches on the good side and the dark side of being a true Cubs fan. This will definately be a CUBS fan classic!
Will buying this book help to 'REVERSE THE CURSE' probably not, but it will help to soothe some of the pain from the past few decades!

Summary of The Cubs Fan's Guide to Happiness
The CUBS Fan's Guide to Happiness: Imparts important truths relevant to Cubs fans and their woeful existence - vital lessons like:* There's Always Next Year (Chapter 1) * Loyaltiness is Next to Godliness (Chapter 6) * Beer Will Make It Better! (Chapter 2)
This book reveals what makes Cubs fans tick and what keeps them happy. It explains why it's not over until you're mathematically eliminated, why winning really isn't everything, and why it's perfectly acceptable to blame all your troubles on a scapegoat, which may or may not be an actual goat. This book is for anyone who wants to be happy in the face of adversity. And if there's anyone who can teach that lesson, it's certainly a lifetime Cubs fan.
