I enjoyed this book very much overall, but felt the ending fell a bit flat. The description of the political machinations that brought the end to the Levee district lost my interest - but then again, what else should I expect in a book about the history of Chicago. I read this as a follow-up to "The Devil in the White City" and I recommend both books because of their detailed and precise descriptions of specific eras in time in Chicago.
