Absolutely awesome book. Winchester is an incredible writer. He also wrote "The Professor and the Madman: Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary".

Winchester is an incredible writer. He also wrote "The Professor and the Madman: Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary". Hmmm...I found that book to be extremely repetitive...like he took a two-chapter story and expanded it by running through the same anecdote again and again.
Also didn't help when I found out he'd made part of it up. :-(
