"In Cold Blood" | 60second Book Review
"In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. 60second Book Review by Jenny Sawyer. http://goo.gl/HgVF3N
When Truman Capote heard about the brutal quadruple murder of the Clutter family, he decided to travel to the Clutters' home state of Kansas to write about the crime. At the time of Capote's arrival, the murderers had not yet been caught. But six years, two arrests, and thousands of pages of notes later, it wasn't the "whodunit" on which Capote decided to focus—it was the how and the why of the crime. When it comes to books about the criminal mind, "In Cold Blood" is way more readable than, say, "Crime and Punishment." But because the events it relates really happened, its story is just as grim—if not grimmer—than other such tales. Is "In Cold Blood" a deeply disturbing book? Yes. But it's also an astonishing piece of storytelling.
