Reviews
"Engrossing . . . exceedingly well documented . . . utterly fascinating." --Chicago Tribune

"A dynamic, enveloping book. . . . Relentlessly fuses history and entertainment to give this nonfiction book the dramatic effect of a novel. . . . It doesn't hurt that this truth is stranger than fiction." --The New York Times

"So good, you find yourself asking how you could not know this already." --Esquire

"Another successful exploration of American history. . . . Larson skillfully balances the grisly details with the far-reaching implications of the World's Fair." --USA Today

"As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Paint[s] a dazzling picture of the Gilded Age and prefigure[s] the American century to come." --Entertainment Weekly

"A wonderfully unexpected book. . . Larson is a historian . . . with a novelist's soul." --Chicago Sun-Times
