Good book for an Illinois fan, which I’m not but some parts were interesting. Little hard/boring to read for me but I thought it was a book about the state so that’s my bad and the rating shouldn’t reflect me being an idiot. 🤣🤣🤣🤣Won this in a Goodreads give away.

I got this for my cousin who is a true Illini so I only glanced through it. The book appears informative but dry.
