Book Review of In Cold Blood

In Cold Blood
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This book is an incredible work of writing. I became interested in it when I saw the film Capote (also terrific) I wanted to read what all the fuss was about. When I was reading it I couldn't help but be impressed how well the characters were fleshed out. Capote manages to have you feel sympathy for the bad guy without feeling that there was any injustice done in the hanging. He doesn't glorify them he simply shows you there character. He also shows the character of the victims of this tragedy with equal weight. Flawless.
