A Murderer’s Interdependence with the Chicago Fair by Diana Alvarez Chavez

Around the 1800’s, industrialization played a major role on society’s actions, most of which had become conniving and devious. The Devil in the White City by Erik Lawson is a book about how one works to reach their goals and how they need to process the accomplishments. It tells the story and journey of two men’s accomplishments, H. H. Holmes and Daniel Burnham, and how one's pride was built of manipulative ways and the other by intellectual ways. I give this book a thumbs up because it kept me intrigued because of how descriptive and detailed both stories were, making it seem fiction like when in reality  it is a  non-fiction book because it is based on real life scenarios. Lastly, I would recommend this book to readers with a short attention span because this book always manages to catch and grasp the reader’s attention with how he mainly portrays the tragedy that H. H. Holmes and Daniel Burnham go through to reach their goals.
