“murder... cold blooded murder”
“what's it about”
“Terrible...”
“I haven't read this yet but am planning to. Just read the book, I am Scout (another version is called, Mockingbird) which is about the life of Harper Lee, her friendship with Truman Capote, and the writing of both To Kill a Mockingbird and In Cold Blood.”
“In Cold Blood is a story that belongs to us. It happened. It happened in our country. It happened to people who never expected anything like this would ever happen to them. So, maybe we are somewhat responsible for knowing this story and the Clutter family, and the story of those who worked so hard to solve this crime. This story also gives us insight into the minds of those responsible for this horrific crime against these innocent people. I don't know that it was written to entertain, as much as to inform. You might be one of the lucky ones and find that you ARE entertained while you read it, as I was (I guess you could call it that). ”
“I'm confused as to how Dewey got on the trail of Dick and Perry.. somehow he received two police records for them, and then somehow suspected them of the crime.. I must have missed something! Can anyone point me in the right direction?”
“I honestly did not find this book that compelling. The story is interesting enough, but I was less than impressed with Capote's style. I thought the reading and story got way too slow at points. Obviously, to some extent, he had to stick with the story of what actually happened, and non-fiction books often have this pacing problem, but as something between fiction and non-fiction, I expected a little more out of it. It's not bad, and I can appreciate why some love it, I just couldn't.”
“What you say or do, always effects others. What if Dick and Perry never heard that false story about the farmer with the hidden money? Would the Clutter family be here today?”
“The first chapter alone makes this book worth the read.”
“bored me out my mind.. i was forced to read it”
