5.0 out of 5 stars
The most amazing book I ever read, March 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: In Cold Blood (Modern Library) (Hardcover)
10 10 10. This is an unbelieveable book. I had to force myself to read it slowly to grasp the fantastic writing style of Truman Capote. The subject matter is such that I found myself reading quickly because it is so engrossing. I have never understood what a truly gifted writer could produce until I read this book. I subsequently read a paperback best seller and couldn't believe how horrible I found the writing style. (Clearly I am no writer, but I can certainly appreciate good writing.) I only wish there were many more books by Truman Capote.

"In Cold Blood" is a book worth reading over and over, December 27, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: In Cold Blood (Modern Library) (Hardcover)
Truman Capote brings 1959 western kansas and the people involved to life with only words. The criminals were described in such detail that I could see them in my minds eye. This is one book that never slows down, and once you start you will not be able to put it down. "In Cold Blood" should be required reading, and should be on every bookshelf.
