The last few chapters of the book gave me the impression of how Larson constantly resurfaces evil throughout the book, and in the end Evil is finally even slightly subdued by Holmes' death sentence. However, the part that still bothered me was the fact that to some extent Holmes still got his way with even how is body is treated after his death. I found that throughout the book, Holmes viewed himself as a superior being, which is why he doesn't want his body to be given to science as he has done to everyone because he thinks of himself as better than everyone he has killed.
The rest of the end chapters also resurface evil by giving emphasis on how even throughout all the evil deeds happening in Chicago during the World Fair, Chicago will still forever be known on how great the fair was.
I really enjoyed how Larson tied the ending together by including the fate of every character involved in the book.
The one thing I didn't understand was the point of Holmes killing so many people and causing so much harm, it just seemed so uncalled for.
