Question 9: Would you read another book by this author? Why or why not?
There is no question that this was an amazing book. The way Larson was able to transition between the characters was amazing. The story itself was incredible. As a review says, "So good, you find yourself asking how you could not know this already" (Esquire), which I completely agree to. The story of the murders that took place was incredible and the fact that until this book, little people knew about the event is unbelievable. I was impressed by the research Larson must have done to learn all about this event. I probably would read another of Larson's books. The way he was able to portray the event was incredible and his style of writing was entertaining and unique. He was also able to capture the emotions felt by the characters, namely the fear from the women Holmes would murder. I will admit that it took a while for myself to truly enjoy the book. However, it was when the fair finally took place that I appreciated the story. I enjoyed his book very much and would be very interested in reading another one of his stories.
