A review by gwinzi
In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

5.0

It's probably a good thing I don't read much true crime, because now In Cold Blood has set such a high standard that not many books of its kind could possibly measure up. I don't want to write a detailed review here, but will just say that what impressed me most about this book was the way Capote wrote about the two killers, as well as about the victims and their families. He did an excellent job of writing about all of them as individual humans rather than just generic bad guys and good guys.

This was a fascinating and heartbreaking book, and now I'm sad I've finished it.
