The Devil in the White City

Just got done reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.

World's Fair

A true story about two gentleman, one being an architect in charge of carrying the US through it’s turn of a World Fair, and the other being a serial killer.

I won’t give away any more important plot information but there were a few things that made this book a page turner:

  • It’s a non-fiction based on true stories.
  • Real dialog and written communication were interjected into the story
  • The two main characters were very well developed.
  • Lots of highs and lows in the plot lines.
  • The visuals created by this book really allowed you to get a sense of what they were seeing.

I give it a 9 out of 10. Historically it worked very well and the story told seemed like it could be a straight up movie.
