backslice 's review for:

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

4.0

---

I can understand the criticism many of the reviewers have for the book - it does come across, at times, as two separate books smashed together somewhat haphazardly. However, I was fascinated by both, so I didn't mind. I was especially delighted by the details and politics of the Chicago world's fair. I certainly don't agree with anyone who found either account boring, so I would recommend giving it a read for yourself. ;)
