The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America

kristenxwentz, July 25, 2007

Originally I had picked up this book because it was about murder, which I am thoroughly enthralled in. This was my summer reading book for school, and overall I thought it was a very interesting book. At points I thought it was boring, partially because I could care less about architecture, but it was a very good historical read, if you are looking for information.
I am 15 years old, and this wasn't the most exciting books I have read, but it was informative.
