Title: One book...or two?
Review: Maybe I'm alone in this opinion, but this reads like two separate and distinct books that only share a setting. I have to confess that I'm only a bit over half way through the book, but so far the story of building the fair and the story of Holmes the serial killer seem to stand so separately that I can hardly see the justification for the two stories to share a set of covers.While I am finding the story of the fair's construction to be a very good read, I can't say the same for Holes' story. Larson seems to be reaching here, desperate for real blood curdling details that he just doesn't have to give.I seem to be in a minority with this opinion, so perhaps a miracle occurs in the second half of the book that brings these two stories together in a meaningful way...hope springs eternal...
