The book takes a meandering walk through the architecture designed and almost magically completed for the Chicago World's Fair. Some of the buildings still stand! However, I wanted to know about the guy who was killing people, so the first third or so was pretty dull to me. It really picks up when the killer is discussed, and the completion of his building with all sorts of "useful" rooms was awfully interesting. This book was a National Book Award Finalist.
