Shareef Al-natour shareef2228cd3 — I really liked this book! If you have ever spent any time in Chicago, it is really a must-read. And even if you have never been to the windy city, I think the book is truly fascinating. It is composed of two true stories: the Chicago World's Fair and the serial killer H.H. Holmes who operated just west of the fairgrounds during that same time period. I thoroughly enjoyed all the interesting originations that I never knew were traced back to the Chicago World's Fair: shredded wheat, the Pledge of Allegiance, Columbus Day, juicy fruit gum, zippers, the Ferris wheel.... This really is a book of two true stories that are both too incredible for fiction. I was able to get through the serial killer parts by thinking of it as a fiction. That all changed at the end with Holmes' last murder-spree. It just too much for me and I had a hard time sleeping at night (which is why I have to downgrade to 4 stars in the end). I just wanted to read it quickly to get it over with. It reminded me that there truly is evil in the world. The tone of these sections, I thought, was similar to Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood". Very factual, not gruesome, but the subject matter was disturbing enough. I did keep wondering how none of his neighbors that frequented Holmes' shops never warned his "women/wives" well enough about his nature. People just didn't have a healthy level of paranoia back then I guess. The dichotomy between the genius of the architects and the evil genius of the mentally-unsound Holmes was very interesting. I agree with the author that these two stories wouldn't have been as memorable without the other. (I enjoyed reading an interview with Larson where he referred to the Holmes story as "porn" on it's own.) I look forward to the tour!

Matheus Moscardini _atheus_oscardini — a great story, and a wonderful choice to read aloud. we were planning to do a chapter a night but we enjoyed it so much that we sometimes read 2 or 3. it is a wonderful adventure, but a bit too violent for little kids so i imagine we'll have to wait a number of years to read it to the baby again. probably after narnia and harry potter, because the violence outstrips those significantly.

Adriano Carvalho _driano_ — This book admittedly starts out a little slow, but once the focus shifts from Garp's mother to Garp, it is a truly great story that spans the entire life of its main character. Additionally, it contains stand-alone short fiction hidden within its pages, as the main character, T.S. Garp, is a writer. The short story "The Pension Grillparzer" within the novel alone makes it worth reading. Oh, and remember to "beware the undertoad."
