Title: The best non-fiction I have ever read!
Review: Erik Larson paints a detailed picture of the trials and tribulations of the men and women who created the 1893 Worlds Fair, the White City. He also interweaves stories about the seedier side of Chicago where the fair was held. The stories all revolve around the famous and infamous who would eventually have a profound effect on society in one way or another.I loved this book because it reads like a fiction novel but is absolutely non-fiction. It had as many actual quotes from each character as possible, mostly taken from letters. This makes the book much more believable and interesting.It was a time I was not familiar with so I was intrigued instantly. The people and events were bigger than life, awe inspiring, and sometimes horrifying. This book has opened up a new world for me. I hope to find other historical books that are as well written.
