The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
Review Date: 7/17/2021
Helpful Score: 1


I did it!! I finished it! I have so many mixed emotions about this one. It was tedious and hard to get into. But the ending made itworth it. I learned some new trivia:

1. Frank Floyd Wright was fired from one of the leading architect for designing homes for rich while he was helping come up with designs for the World Fair in Chicago.

2. One of the Architects that helped design the fair, perished on the Titanic.

3. Walt Disney's father worked for an engineering firm that worked on the fair. His stories about working on the fair, inspired Magic Kingdom.

4. The Wonderful World of OZ was inspired by the hydrogen balloon that was an attraction.

I am so glad that I forced myself to finish it. I definitely want to see the movie. Also I on the lookout for the biography of H. H. Holmes. I want to read about his mind and how he was one of the first people to be called a psychopath. Overall, this book was 3 out 5 stars.
