The Devil in the White City
The book I've recently read is The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. The book was a tale that contrasted good and evil. The story takes place during the World's fair in Chicago and tells the lives of a planner of the fair, and a murderer who is using the fair to attract his prey. The author was able to prove this thesis by showing the lives of these two men. I agree with the author's position because no matter how good something is, there are always going to be people who use it for their bad motives. I really enjoyed the piece because it was very educational about the time of the World's fair in Chicago, showing all of te preparation that went into it and how much the US wanted this to succeed so that we could show we are just as cultured as Paris. The book also had action that kept the book entertaining and interesting the whole time.
