The last 100 pages of this book are the best...however, it might be hard for some to make it through all the names of individuals involved with the World Fair. I learned that the World Fair is the reason why Columbus Day is a holiday. If you are interested in the beginnings of much of the architecture in Chicago, I would strongly recommend it. A very detailed description of the World Fair and the mind of a serial killer.
