“Creepy & absolute love”

• Rated 5 stars

“You will spend most of this book disbelieving that this is a true story. The people are over the top at times, especially the serial killer, but it is addicting. I is a great look, though, at what Chicago was like at the turn of the century, and after reading it I wanted to be able to go there. Alas, I cannot not, but I feel like I am transported there every time I read this book.”

• Rated 4 stars

“I read this book about 5 years ago, and enjoyed reading about all that was involved in Chicago preparing for the World's Fair. Many wonderful inventions that are still used today were presented at this great exhibition. Was a fascinating read.”
