What a good book, good choice.

I had read this a couple of years ago and by the end, was thinking it was two different stories and why did he do it that way?? Perhaps to highlight between good and evil but through stories of creation and destruction? It was a fascinating read, and boy! evil personified indeed!!

I read this book shortly after it was released. I loved it and could hardly put it down. Besides the two main themes, I learned a lot about the early history of Chicago which I knew very little about.
