Helpful Score: 2

We chose this for a Book Club read. While this was a good book, it didn't do well as a discussion book.

Personally, I enjoyed the historical aspect of Chicago, the labor movement, civil engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. I also enjoyed reading about the building of the fair and the many famous people who were part of the fair as builders, participants, visitors. I also enjoyed learning more about the "Gilded Age" of the late 1800s. There was a lot of fascinating info throughout the book.

I would have appreciated more information about Serial Killer H. H. Holmes.
