Reviews
"Scott Simon's "My Cubs: A Love Story" provides the emotional 108-year backstory. He lays out the context of suffering, of losses, of communal connections and religious devotion....His view -- the fan's perspective -- is no doubt crucial to understanding the significance of last year's World Series." -Rick Maese, The Washington Post "[ My Cubs ] reads more like a memoir or a journal of sorts, at times wistfully cathartic and at others joyously nostalgic." -Cubs Insider "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly "A brisk, sweet romp through Cubs history to the glorious present." -BookPage, "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly "A brisk, sweet romp through Cubs history to the glorious present." -BookPage, "The author is a solid stylist, and his descriptions of Cubs' players, managers, and owners resonate, as do his anecdotes about his wife and daughters as they try to understand his mania." - Kirkus Reviews "A short and heartfelt memoir about his lifelong love for the Chicago Cubs...Simon gives readers a wonderful look at how a Cubs fan--indeed, any devoted fan of any team--has a feeling of 'love, not loyalty.'" -Publishers Weekly
