Beautiful, but very sad. I think I might like this one best of Satrapi's graphic novels to date, although Embroideries was very lighthearted and fun to read, and Persepolis was certainly educational and moving. A quick read, but very worth it.
I read four pages and could already feel brain cells dissolving.
Erik Larson did a fantastic job blending two stories: the remarkable building of The Chicago World's Fair in 1893 and the rise of the serial killer, Herman Mudgett. I found the World's Fair storyline to be a bit dry at times, but fascinating overall. It supported the true crime side of the story quite well. The chaos of the fair (and his penchant for making up stories to elude authorities) gave Mudgett plenty of anonymity to do his work. Excellent book.
