The Devil in the White City Question 2

The Devil in the White City has a unique form of writing. The text flashes back and forth between Burnham, the architect and protagonist, and Dr. Holmes, the serial killer and antagonist. In the beginning, I saw the text as interesting, flashing back between Holmes and Burnham. It reminded me of another series, The Lorien Legacies. The second and third books in the series use the same style of writing as this book, flashing back and forth between the protagonists. Upon making the connection, I was compelled to continue on into the book. While the text is very unique, I prefer one over the other. For some reason, I am more interested when in the book when I am reading about Burnham. At times, Holmes' story does strike me with intrigue, I cannot immerse myself in the story. However, I am certain that later in the book, Holmes' role will develop more and I will be able to become more interested in his story.
