alice ttlg (USA: TX) (2007/10/22):
Not quite as good as his earlier book, Isaac's Storm about the 1900 hurricane in Galveston, TX but still very interesting, lots of detail about the time period, people's lives, working conditions, politics (mainly local/city) paralleled neatly with H.H. Holmes and his basement of horrors.
tony picco (USA: NY) (2009/01/25):
I have not read Isaac's Storm, but this book is a fascinating blend of history, cause & effect in society, and the personal lives of certain key players. It really tells the birth of Chicago as a major player in the world of big cities...
