| A quiet, pleasant, character-driven book that I liked quite a bit. Some of the secondary characters were a bit uneven in their depth. The author very deftly twisted all her strings together at the end and managed to pull some surprises out of a plot...more | |

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America
by Erik Larson (Goodreads Author)
read in March, 2010

“The thing to recall about Dragons is that it takes a special person to deal with them at all. If you lie to them they will steal from you. If you attack them without cause they will dismember you. If you run from them they will laugh at you.
It is thus best to deal calmly, openly and fairly with Dragons: Give them all they buy and no more or less, and they will do the same by you. Stand at their back and they will stand at yours. Always remember that a Dragon is first a Dragon and only then a friend, a partner, a lover.
Never assume that you have discovered a Dragon's weak point until it is dead and forgotten, for joy is fleeting and a Dragon's revenge is forever.”
