Erik Larson: The Devil in the White City



Ready for the book club!!

Be sure to give it past 55 pages. That is when the story kicks in and you forget for a moment that you are reading a non-fiction text.

Fascinating and enjoyable, interesting and educational. Chicago locale, gruesome psychopathic killer....A time in history (Chicago's World Fair--late 1800s) that I didn't know about. It was a girthy text, but flew by once I got past the initial 55 pages.
