The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
by Erik Larson
Devil In The White City by Erik Larson (1/5/2017)
While reading the novel I was intrigued about learning more about America's history, but found the book too formal. There is so much information thrown at the readers that it becomes confusing and hard to take in. I found myself excited and looking forward to reading more about Dr. Howard Henry Holmes; whom is mentioned in the book occasionally rather than Daniel Burnham. As a young reader, I didn't take much interest in this book. I was also disappointed in the lack of interaction between our two main characters. Leaving the readers with more facts thrown in to fill the gap. Although, I will admit the way you portrayed these characters was astonishing. It was like I understood Daniel Burnham on a personal level, where as with Holmes. I found Holmes very intriguing but enjoyable to learn about. I'd love for you to write a book on his life, thank for your time.
