Capote at His Peak - [01 Aug 2009]
Entering the pantheon of American classics, this work is a bone-chilling account of four murders. Almost random in their occurrence, the murders are perpetrated by an odd pair of ex-cons out to rob what they thought was a rich man living on a vast ranch...

Third time around "In Cold Blood" - [10 Jun 2009]
This was my third copy - thanks to lending and forgetting to reclaim. Every so often I re-read it, making it my own "cult classic". What a story - still grim but exciting after all these years. This time around, I also had to re-purchase "To Kill a Mockingbird...

What a great novel this would be... - [20 May 2009]
...if it only were one! I would feel so much better liking it. It is a brillant piece of borderline writing, mixing 'fiction' and journalism. Unfortunately it also seems to have done something highly immoral, if the story as told by the movie 'Capote'...

chilling - [14 May 2009]
I really enjoyed this book. Capote has taken the factual account of a horrible mass murder and turned it into a fascinating story that reads more like a novel. Beyond just giving us the facts, Capote creates a colorful, vivid world with deep, rich characters...

Without a doubt, In Cold Blood is one of the best nonfiction books I have ever read. The horrific subject matter, notwithstanding, the book was a an absolute pleasure to read. It is truly Truman Capote at his literary best. One would think that writing...

This book was...awesome. - [26 Mar 2009]
Simply put, Capote is a master of the written language. This is the first of his books I've experienced, and I am now looking forward to discovering more of his works. I've read thousands of books, and none have touched me as this one has. When I'd first...

extraordinary and unforgettable - [24 Mar 2009]
I came to this book after having recently watched the 1967 film. The film riveted me. I had been wanting to see it for years so I picked up the DVD after Christmas and was very taken with it. Soon after I ordered the book. When I started reading it I ...

This is a good crime thiller as the author has you guessing until the last chapter as to what happen and why.

Heart-wrenching - [06 Sep 2008]
A book that has stood the test of time. First released in 1965, it hasn't dated at all. A true account of the brutal slaying of four members of a rural Kansas family and the subsequent apprehension of the murderous duo. A fascinating, highly-engaging...
