Very interesting read. Parts were, of course, very disturbing, and parts about the new inventions introduced at the Fair were fascinating. Definitely recommended.

Not normally the type of book I'd be into but it was so interesting and well-written that I couldn't help but be sucked in!

Bit dull/dense from time to time with the architectural talk, but enjoyed learning just how big an impact the fair had on our country. Terrifying to think a serial killer could swindle people so EASILY in that time period.
