I’ve enjoyed them. Some more than others but definitely worth a read, if the topic interests you.

Any books I haven’t enjoyed I have still respected.
Larson tends to find two channels and weave them together so you usually have something quite exciting helping to lubricate something a little drier. Isaac’s Storm is about the history of meteorology but also about a particular hurricane which nearly wiped Galveston Texas off the map. Dead Wake is about the various people traveling on the Lusitania but it is also about the British Navy’s deliberate (?) negligence in protecting her. I personally didn’t love Devil in the White City because the murders were just too gruesome and the history of Chicago isn’t a strong interest for me. But I know other people love it.
