mcmalone907 's review for:
H H Holmes is both fascinating and repugnant. Larson does a great job of taking the reader through the steps of Holmes' life, killings, and frauds. It is almost inconceivable that no one suspected him and so few parents filed police reports for their missing daughters or that both the police and private detectives would not connect Holmes to the disappearances for so many years. Juxtaposed to Holmes dark crimes is the bright hope that the Worlds Fair gave to not only Chicago, but the U.S. Its amazing that in just two years Jackson Park was changed from a barren bit of land to the White City that inspired Disney World. Even with the faster communication abilities and power tools of today I seriously doubt such an achievement could be produced today. I need a TARDIS so I can travel to Chicago and see the Worlds Fair.
