I was so excited to get this book as I love history and mysteries. I thought this would be the best of 2 worlds. Not quite. The extensive history of the architects and landscapers and everyone else involved in the Chicago World's Fair was amazingly detailed and boooring. Just way too detailed oriented,and the rest seemed at best hit or miss. It wasn't nearly as interesting as I had hoped
