This book could get a bit tedious at times with all of the details, but I enjoyed it. Larsen really brought history to life for me. The numerous historical facts that originated with the Chicago World's Fair is so interesting. I found it amazing that so much was accomplished during this time period, especially given the ailments that most people had to contend with.
