It was a mixed bag in my group. There were those that hated it, others loved, and some like me, just really liked it. I agree, it was difficult to keep some of the people straight, and there were some pages to skim over as sometimes the details were a bit much. However, I was so fascinated by everything I was learning that I kept going and I ended up really liking it. I think the author did a wonderful job making it interesting and reading more like fiction than nonfiction. However, there could have been a little more editing to make it more readable.<br /><br />-jeharaquirky girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157385874399477807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365675166605528050.post-21294541469708505162011-09-19T16:59:16.613-04:002011-09-19T16:59:16.613-04:00This is on my TBR shelf.

I found them fascinating but in a disturbing way. :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805703235065408842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7365675166605528050.post-32273196754996272902011-09-17T11:52:15.994-04:002011-09-17T11:52:15.994-04:00I'm reading this right now for a book club!
I ...I'm reading this right now for a book club!<br />I have to say that I'm not a huge nonfiction reader myself either, but I do love this history in it, and like you, I had no idea that such a serial killer even existed. <br />I find myself hardly retaining any of the information from the architect chapters, but loving the chapters about Holmes. It's very interesting, I'm only about halfway through myself. <br />Thanks for the review!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909018393122599017noreply@blogger.com
