The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson 2004

What WHAT?! A book review?
The only thing I can say about this book was that it was perfect based on timing.
If you want to read it, you'd also better love architecture or design and enjoy debating it. The book follows the concurrent activities of the production behind and during the Chicago Columbian Exhibition (world's fair to you lay folk) and the demented dissections of H. H. Holmes, a former doctor turned Jack the Ripper with his own crematorium on the South Side.
The timing for me was perfect because of my move to Chicago in the near future (days away) and my new temp job at a hospital. It was pretty interesting and will give new appreciation for things like a local cemetery, The Museum of Science and Industry and the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier.
And it may also give you new appreciation about turning single women into skeletons. I don't know.
My next review will likely be
The Cult of the Amateur by the Web 2.0 Chicken Little: Andrew Keen. More to come on that.
