I read this awhile ago for book club and it was one of my first in historical fiction! The way Larson writes two complementing stories/timelines at once is magical. Based on real events, I was captivated by the story and did not wsnt to put it down.

Erik Larson writes non-fiction in a way that reads like a novel. Fascinating story, incredible writing.
