I quite enjoyed this book, though it occasionally made me angry. It was well researched and cleverly presented. I think, in order to maintain some tension and mystery, the author withheld some information until the very end. It sometimes seemed as if Houdini were intentionally being presented in a bad light. A negative story implying Houdini had evidence planted was within the text, while a footnote revealed it was a confederate of the medium that provided the so-called "information" about said plant. That is an example of the kind of thing I am talking about.Still, all in all an enjoyable and informative read… (mer)
