As a big fan of big city architecture and history/suspense, this book was a great find. My brother loaned it to me, and then I went and bought my own copy.
Erik Larson writes wonderful historic novels about real calamities; this one is at the top of my favorites list. He entwines 2 stories together beautifully; the building of the Worlds' Fair in late 1800's Chicago along with the tale of a maniac who preys on women.
It's one of those books I didn't want to put down. As a result I've purchased all the books Mr. Larson has written!
