The Devil in the White City

[€uroMeinke]

I recently finished this runner up bookclub choice and quite enjoyed it. One part serial killer crime drama, another part cultural history of the Chicago World's Fair and frankly it was this latter part that really engaged me. It's a story of Chicago coming of age, and a time when cities and countries would compete with architecture and innovation. It's also a treat for the Disney fan, as you can see how this world fair influenced the Disney parks to come. It makes me miss the days of great works and pagentry. Anyway, quite a fun read.
