Every single time I forced myself to listen to this audiobook, I just needed up bored and zoned out. Some of the H.H. Holmes stuff was interesting, but for the most part this was a snooze fest for me.

Meh. I probably should have just read the wikipedia article about H.H. Holmes.

So many details which were great. The link between Holmes and the fair wasn’t super strong, so it sometimes felt like I was reading two different books. The author also failed to analyze the gender and class aspects of the topics at hand while spending a LOT of time on the architects and their mediocrity. Meh. I get why people like it and I appreciate all the detailed research that went into it.
