If anyone can recommend fun historical books like this or like The Professor and the Madman, please let me know. As much as I like biographies and histories about political or military leaders, these books that dig into tidbits of history are a lot of fun. This one is about the Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893. It is also about H. H. Holmes, a serial killer who built a hotel near the fair. The book is arranged so that you read one chapter about the Fair's development and then one chapter about Holmes. Some critics have said that it feels disjointed, but I don't agree. The fit together chronologically, and it's nice to know what is going on in Chicago while Holmes is preparing his hotel and then luring his victims. I think a book solely about the Fair, while interesting, would not have been as compelling. Likewise, a book solely about Holmes would have been hard to place in context. Together, I felt like I was getting a nice overview of an important event in US history (the even that started the City Beautiful movement) while digging into one aspect of it--one of America's first and worst serial killers. Also, Larson's writing is easy to read and flows nicely. Sometimes I think the historical perspective is sacrificed for readability, but I did not feel that way in this book. On the contrary, I felt like I was getting a pretty good helping of interesting tidbits. Sure, there's only a small discussion about American architecture and about the political context of the fair, but that's not what this book is about. This book evokes the culture of Chicago at the end of an age. It's fun.

من بارها و در سنين مختلف اين داستان رو خوندم وهر دفعه چيزهاي جديدي ياد گرفتم. اين كتاب پُره از نكات عميق اجتماعي، فلسفي و حتي سياسي.

** spoiler alert ** The first 20-30 pages were really slow to get into - it took a while to get used to the style of writing, since it's from the viewpoint of five year old Jack. After that, I could hard put it down. It was great to see the world through a child's eyes. I really liked Noreen and Steppa, even though they had smaller parts. I did not like Grandma, at all...it seemed like she didn't have any motherly qualities or feeling in her.

This guy is really really funny. I never even have seen some of the TV shows, or listened to the music he writes essays about and I am STILL amused.

If I'm going to read a book about a self-obsessed middle-aged man struggling with his fading libido, it had damn well better be by Philip Roth. Apparently this had an amazing ending, but I didn't want to wade through everything that came before it, so back to the library it went after about 100 pages.

I don't think you need me to tell you that Toni Morrison is a talented author, so I won't. I gave it four stars, enough said.

Another amusing addition to Johnanna Lindsey's Malory family series now focusing on Georgies brother Drew. Wasn't the best but was by no means the worst I've read by her

This book had So much potential that was killed with a quick, cheesy, dull exit. How could this possibly be the same man that wrote The Frankenstein series ??
