"I enjoyed this novel though it isn't for the faint of heart. I truly felt for some of the storylines and characters. I recall reading tidbits of this book in English class and was happy to give it a full read as an adult. If you enjoyed this, I recommend reading "The Devil In The White City" by Erik Larson. Another early 1900 Chicago novel but slightly horror and nice historical info."
