Annah Monismith- The Devil In The White City

I chose The Devil In The White City because an old history teacher recommended it to my class several times. His description at the time made it sound so fascinating, unfortunately I never had the chance to pick it up until now. The book is wonderful. It paints the world so clearly and makes everything seem magical. Almost as if it wasn't real. I think that this is key in the success of this book's plot line. The author weaves the unbelievable throughout the story with an expertise that could rival any fiction novelist. Then he tells you it's all real. The surreal sense that all these events actually happened, captivates the reader in a way that no other book can. I'm very excited to complete the project for this book!
