The Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson


Read and reviewed in December, 2009. Given to my son

I just finished reading The Devil in the White City, and I don't know why I put it off so long! It is a wonderfully written book. It reads like a novel, weaving the stories of the two men and the World's Fair together expertly. I usually prefer fiction to nonfiction, but I really enjoyed this one (if "enjoyed" can be said of the grisly details of Dr. Holmes' deeds).
