Summary: Better than the first one
Comment: I liked this book better than the first volume but don't really know why. I found myself wishing for more follow-ups. ie. What happened to the lady who had to go to court to prove she wasn't a mother?
Rating: 2
Summary: Not as good as the first installment
Comment: This follow-up to "One More Time" includes more of Mike Royko's Tribune and Sun-Times columns. Although there were a few gems that had been missing from "One More Time", most of the installments here fall flat. If "One More Time" whet your apetite, it would be better to find a copy of "Boss" and see Royko at his best.
Rating: 5
Summary: Another great Royko collection
Comment: This book is for those of us who love Mike Royko. It is a sequal to the superb "One More Time," collection that came out last year. This time the introduction is written by former collegue Roger Ebert, who delivers an appropriately poinaint snapshot of the man. Then Royko's own words take over. As always, he is at his best when deflating puffed up politicians or defending the little guy against big corporations and big government. This book adds a bonus of also including the verbal sparring that Royko would occasionally do with readers who outraged by a particular column. It also singles out individual Royko sayings for easilly quotable repeating. Royko was a true Chicago original and perhaps the best newspaper columnist of all time. Reading this book is another reminder of how the void of his absence has yet to be filled and perhaps never will be.
