Helpful Score: 2

I'm still thinking about this book a month later. I'm a history geek and a psychologist so the combination of historically fascinating facts and a psychological examination of a period of time (and a madman) combined together was riveting. I felt like I was taken back in time, could feel the scratchy natural fibers people had to wear, could smell the polluted blood-soaked air of Chicago's stockyards. The first cracker jacks? The first electric lights? so many firsts; I can't spill all the beans, but this is a must read.
