I couldn't put this book dpwn. What I thought would be a dull accounting of the building of the Chicasgo World Fair turned out to bea fascinating tale of passion and dreams. There are so many interesting tidbits of fact. The alternate side of the book, the story of H. H. Holmes, murderer and psychopath, is fascinating in that the reader can almost get into his moind. What he got away with and for so long is amazing. I recommend this book to readers of history and true crime. Actually, I can recommend it to anyone who enjoys a very well written story with aspects you won't easily forget.
