I was perplexed at first when I read the title. What the heck is Sunnyside? Well, it's a great journey through a fun part of Toronto history and of course, I've fallen in love with Mike Filey's writing style. Anything that makes me forget that I'm reading nonfiction is awesome in my books. I have a full review here: http://www.examiner.com/publishing-in-toronto/toronto-book-review-i-remember-sun.... But if you're not up to reading a few more words, let me say this is an excellent history of Toronto that is well written and the pictures, again, I'll say are amazing.… (lisätietoja)

For some reason, Goodreads has decided I can't leave a rating. **sigh** 5 Stars. Okay? Good. Loved this book and I'm now a bit of a history buff. I didn't know history was actually...interesting. Imagine that.

I have a full review here: http://www.examiner.com/books-in-canada/spotlight-on-canadian-authors-review-of-... but if you don't want to go there, I'll say I recommend you pick up this book. Mike has a very distinct writing style that makes you feel as though you're sitting in his living room sipping coffee (or whatever beverage you like, we Canadians are hospitable) and listening to him tell you a story. I enjoyed all of his books very much.… (lisätietoja)

Mike Filey's writing is comfortable and easy and Toronto Sketches 9 is a very interesting read. It's actually my favorite of his books so far, although the newest book [bc:Toronto Sketches 10: "The Way We Were"|8572716|Toronto Sketches 10 "The Way We Were"|Mike Filey|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51xGr6sFqfL._SL75_.jpg|13441506] is a close second. In my full review here: rel="nofollow" target="_top">http://www.examiner.com/publishing-in-toronto/toronto-book-review-toronto-sketch... I mention that this isn't history we get in school, but it's one we should know.… (lisätietoja)
