Fantastic book!

This book was so well written, so full of suspense, and so interesting. I loved it!! It wasn't a book that was all about the murders and finding the killers, it was about these characters that were just so real, it put you right there. I would recommend this book to anyone. Fantastic!

Better Than The Film

The reason for wanting to read this book came from seeing the film "Capote". It is completely riveting and a must have for any home library.

One of the best I've read.

I had no idea what this book was about when I bought it. It was years ago now, and I was given a list of "Good Books" to read as a present: A deck of cards, each card representing a great work in American Literature that everyone should read. This was one of the books. I liked it a lot. At the time, I had no idea who Capote was (I still don't) and it wasn't until recently when movie after movie keeps coming out about this "Capote" character that I realized he was the author of this book. It's a good book, and a well-told story, but I don't see why Capote has recently been thrown up on a pedestal and worshiped by Hollywood. Regardless, this book is worth your time.

in cold blood

Very well written. Interesting. Kind of depressing but knew it would be due to subject matter.

amazing on all levels

Intrigued, I wondered how Capote could manage to write a book about a crime that, while gruesome, at first glance doesn't appear to be the sort to sustain a book. Upon starting it I was hooked, he not only found the story but manages to tell it from many different perspectives while keeping the raw emotion intact, putting you right there throughout. At the same time he comes across as unbiased in his telling. Not only does he create a genre with this book, he defines what it is at it's best. As an aside, to watch the movie Capote after reading this book makes clear the methods he used, unprecedented access to the criminals, etc. in order to create this masterpeice.
