This book is absolutely flawless. I'm becoming a huge Erik Larson fan. HIs research is thorough and intense. His writing is absolute perfection. I felt like I was there, at the Chicago's World's Fair, watching this story come alive. This book is so much more than just a story of H. H. Holmes. It's about the fair, the Chicago government at the time, and the architecture of the day. This is the third Erik Larson book I've read and I see a pattern. He's enthralled with cruise ships, wireless communication as it's coming into being, and all the excitement of new beginnings at the turn of the century. I like where he's going and I intend to follow. Bravo!
