Last to See Them Alive by Carolina Gonzalez Torres


During the late 1950’s, in a small rural town in Holcomb, Kansas, the entire town found themselves astonished and shocked by the savage murder of an entire family. In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, is a book about murder. Capote presents his novel in a journalistic chronology, introducing the crime from different points of view. After a “planned” robbery results in a brutal murder of a countryside family, two criminals, Perry and Dick, are on the run from the police.

In Cold Blood is recommended for teenagers who enjoy reading cinematic type of books in which the book reflects itself more like a movie than an actual novel. Capote’s novel is full of vivid descriptions and attention grabbers that make it hard for you to put the book down once you have begun reading it. In Cold Blood deserves a huge thumb’s up because this book was very captivating and it had me hooked right until the end!
