Devil was quite a read. Holmes was a fiend to put it mildly. He murdered men, women, and children alike in ways to entertain himself. It was gruesome. Rarely does a book affect me as this one did. Fortunately, the Chicago World's Fair story was fascinating and I learned so many wonderful little details that I did not know. I learned so many little facts - shredded wheat was developed then, a bicycle was first called a wheel, the Ferris wheel was developed by an engineer for it which I should have realized when I recalled that all the pictures of that World's Fair pictured a ferris wheel duh?!) Wow!
