Reviews on the book I have yet to read

    Happy thoughts generally don't come to mind when one hears or reads the word "Devil."  In all honesty, as most people do, the thought of a red skinned creature with horns and a pitchfork surrounded by fire pops into my head.  However, when dealing with The Devil in the White City, no red skinned monster will be found.  The word "Devil" takes on a whole new meaning in this book.
     I would love to go into great detail about how amazing this book is, describing what happens so that you would one day want to go read it.  I would even love to say, "Oh yeah, this book is great.  Go check it out, I mean really, go to the library and check it out."  However, seeing that I have not read this book yet (I don't even have a copy of the book), I cannot do so.  So, for my first post, I will be sharing with you the reviews of the critics on this books.  Let's face it, instead of having me babble on for quite some time, as I have already done, why don't we have someone's opinion who actually read the book.
     This review, from Publishers Weekly, states that:
                      Larson's breathtaking new history is a novelistic yet wholly factual account of
                      the fair and the mass murderer who lurked within it. Bestselling author Larson
                      (Isaac's Storm) strikes a fine balance between the planning and execution of the
                      vast fair and Holmes's relentless, ghastly activities. The passages about Holmes
                      are compelling and aptly claustrophobic;
The review went on and on to give away dfetails of story, which I decided to not include because I will talk about them in later post.  Taking this into account, the book does seem quite interesting.  Not meaning to sound creepy in any way, but who doesn't love a story with a good murderer in it?
     This should be a very interesting book, and once I get around to actually getting the book itself, I will be able to tell you all about it. Lastly, I wanted to end this post with a witty pun, probably using a devil reference, but I couldn't think of a good one.  Oh well, so long for now.
