In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote

4.0

WOW. This book was so much more engrossing and better-written than I anticipated. As I read somewhere (maybe in the back of the book), Capote meant to create a new genre through this book, the "nonfiction novel", and that's absolutely what this is. It was hard for me to picture how truly real this was, until I did some Googling and found pictures and evidence documents. The characters and stories told, especially the Clutters' day, was so full and rich and lovely. Also, Capote has a wonderful voice and seems to be neutral without being cold or boring. I'm so glad I read this!
