Title: Interesting but so BOOORING....
Review: At first I was very excited to read this book. The author did a book signing in the area, and everyone was mentioning how great the novel was. As a result, I bought the book and struggled through boring chapter after boring chapter.Larson tells the stories of Burnham and Holmes in a series of alternating chapters. These stories are totally unrelated except for the fact that they share the same time and place. All the chapters are full of pointless details and "fun facts" that drag on the already slow pace of the book.You will love this book if you are riveted by disagreements over using steamboats instead of electric vessels, or if you are mesmerized by how foundations are constructed in the soft ground in Chicago.If you are looking for historical minutia, this is the book for you; however, if you want a thriller, read something else.
