so-soMeh, it was okay. Maybe I wasn‘t in the middle but the writing seemed clunky and childish and the story fell flat for me. I nearly bailed on it but the promise of a trial kept me reading

Trying to read as much non-fiction this November.
pickI found this book fascinating and frustrating at the same time. I was mainly frustrated because it really goes in depth as to how the American judicial system worked in the early 1900‘s. I was APPALLED. Say what you will about it now, but it‘s 1000% better than back then.
pickI honestly thought the book was supposed to be more about HH Holmes than it actually was. The story was about the development and construction of the Worlds Fair which didn‘t interest me as much. I did learn a lot and was intrigued about parts but I guess it just wasn‘t what I expected. Well written and very historical. Glad I ended up reading it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Adding this #Nonfiction #historical book to my #TBR stack for #NFNov.

What I see is a story of the struggle for authenticity...What they‘ve done is enshrined this in a period where English fishermen were members of a colonial power that ruled the entire globe and could extract fascinating things from it, then sell them in commercial markets.
“But that dream is extinct,” he said “That world is gone.”
Working on this one! Fun fact: my childhood home is in Starke, FL. We lived only 2 miles from Florida State Prison 😅
pickRed market is market/economy that trades with human tissue, body parts and even whole people ... The lack of regulation and non-transparency opens many possibilities for illegal trades and exploitation ... Quote from the book is the best description of that chilling investigation: “The ample supply of available organs in the third world and excruciatingly long waiting lists in the first world, make organ brokering a profitable occupation.” 5⭐️
pickWhy didn‘t anyone tell me to move this to the top of my TBR months ago?! This true crime book is compelling as hell. I spent all my free time the last two days reading it. If you enjoy true crime, you have to read this RIGHT NOW. It has my vote in the 2019 Goodreads Awards in the Nonfiction Category for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Well, this is weird. The Clutter house is currently for sale. Maybe I could go to an open house. ( Just kidding. My curiosity does not go that far!)
Link is from realtor.com. Not much of an "untold" story but some info about whose owned the house since the murders.
