I found this easier to follow on 🎧audio than physical. Information dense but very interesting. Pictures would have made a wonderful edition📸

I look forward to following this up with a few others from this time period🤓📚

Chunksters have a tendency to languish on my shelves for years. I loved the origin story of Jack and Elizabeth‘s relationship. Since I rooted so strongly for them I found subsequent chapters of their backstories fascinating - noting my Kansas connection likely contributed to enjoying sections that others found tedious 🌾🌾🌾

I am half in and looking for encouragement to keep going. I am reading the race reviews but what us with all the tangents? Do I like them? Elizabeth's family's story was interesting, much too long and should have been another book.
I am having a real like hate relationship with this book.

Interesting contrast between the story of a successful world fair and the life of the first serial killer of America.

Seeing mixed reviews of this chunky guy. Going to see how far I can get.

As I‘m from Chicago I enjoyed the overall story and references to many of the things of my city and its history.
