    Now onto another Erik Larson one, In the Garden of Beasts.
    I really liked Devil in the White City, but was disappointed with In the Garden of Beasts.

    Just finished Ripley Underwater. Less claustrophobic than other Ripley's I've read.

    Yes, I can see that. I wouldn't say I was disappointed with In the Garden of Beasts.... though it had a less dramatic plot for sure. Interesting enough to me.


    I actually got on a Larson kick and just finished "Thunderstruck". I really enjoyed this. Similar to Devil, you have parallel storylines (which I thought were a bit more mysterious than Devil) and actually came together relatively well in the end. Recommend it.

    I just ordered this the other day, and it's been delivered. Unfortunately, I am traveling at the moment but can't wait to be home and read this.
