Historia
Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

A book about architecture
Revisado: 09-01-24
Maybe it’s my fault for not doing more research before picking this book up but it was not at all what I expected. It’s a book about the world’s fair (and not even the fun part just about the politics of it being built and then literally about it being built) with a small smattering of Holmes mixed in. From all the raving reviews I’d heard I really thought it was going to be just about Holmes but it felt 90% worlds fair architecture and 10% serial killer and was written fairly dryly at that or else I probably would have tried to finish it. Just not for me at all. I liked the narrator though.

Everything I could have hoped
Revisado: 02-26-24
I wish Jack black could read every book to me. I love Minecraft and I love Jack black and this story kept me listening since the start. I couldn’t help from wondering what the main character would discover next or how he would discover. I think this would be a good read even if you don’t know anything about the game. Only complaint? I wish there was more.

Historia
Trading with the elves used to be so simple. Every year Master Cheeser Jonathan Bing would send his very best cheeses downriver to traders who would eventually return with Elfin wonders for the people of Twombly Town. But no more. First the trading post at Willowood Station was mysteriously destroyed. Then a magical elfin airship began making forays overhead; Jonathan knew something was definitely amiss. So he set off downriver to deliver the cheeses himself, accompanied by the amazing Professor Wurzle, the irrepressible Dooly, and his faithful dog Ahab.

A cozy Christmas vibe
Revisado: 01-14-23
This story reminds me of The Hobbit but simpler and I don’t mean that as an insult. It’s a fun little cozy story. Johnathan Bing is just your average guy who ends up on kooky little adventure. A quick and easy read that is absolutely perfect for reading by the fire with a cup of tea (which I think the cheeser would certainly approve of)
