In Cold Blood

by Jason on Nov.23, 2009, under Book Reviews

Book Title: In Cold Blood
Author: Truman Capote
Category: Nonfiction
Summary: This book tells the story of a well mannered Kansas
family who is murdered with no apparent motive. All bound and shot with
a 12 guage. While it is telling of the Clutter families last days, it starts
telling the story of the two murderers. It intertwines the events of each
going on at the same time. Sections chapters so that you know what
each party is doing relatively at the same time. It continues through
the murderers getting arrested, convicted, and executed.

I thought Capote to use great use of imagery. He lets his sentences paint a picture
of what went on. I have no clue what Kanasa looks like except from the pictures
that were painted in my mind from reading this book.

This is actually a true story. I would insist anyone who likes classic literature to check
it out.
