Title: A deeply disturbing book
Review: Our book club chose this book, so I felt I had to read it --- but found I simply could not force myself even halfway through it! The two stories included are supposedly connected by the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, but the connection is tenuous at best.Telling how the World's Fair came about, from start to finish, could have been accomplished in a couple of short chapters. Instead, the writer drags the whole thing out, detail by tedious detail, in an incredibly boring and depressing narrative.The "true crime" story of Dr. Holmes, on the other hand, is horrifying. I am appalled to find that this book appears on many student "recommended reading" lists! "Recommended" for what earthly reason?! It is shock writing, cheap and tawdry.Surely the reading public can set the bar way above this kind of pretentious trash!
