First of all, my first feeling and experience about the book "Devil in the White City" is interesting. This book begin with an Evils Imminent making readers very curious. Erik Larson has a skillful way to attract everybody into the story. The book Devil in the White City" begins with two different person having two different jobs, one is an architect, and another is a killer. Both of them didn't meet together before, but some how, they have a relative by a single or magical event. This beginning makes readers want to read more about this book. As a result, "Devil in the White City" has a good starting.
Next, in the first chapter "Black City", Erik Larson starts with the sentence: "How easy it was to disappear". After that, he wrote about the number of young woman come and go out without notice in Chicago everyday. It is easy way for the killer to have his action. Moreover, it is also a dangerous city with "anonymous death came early and often", so it makes readers want to know what happen in the next chapter. A perfect beginning because it hits directly into inquisitive mental process of people. All of this makes the book "Devil in the White City" becoming a #1 national bestseller book.
