Exceptional book...had no idea of significance of 1893 Chicago World's Fair, nor the associated good and bad things that happened at the fair. This book is factual and based on true events, which I prefer over pure fiction.
Writing is excellent, and believable...has short chapters, and made reading the book something to look forward to. DO NOT research this event on Google, or several surprises will be spoiled that are detailed in the text.
Will probably not keep the book, but am now going back and re-reading several key areas. Excellent details referring to civil engineering challenges, social changes, and a crime element.
