On the chilling morning
of November 14, 1954 in Holcomb, Kansas, it was discovered that the four
members of the beloved Clutter family had been brutally murdered, leaving the
residents of the small town fearsome of another brutal strike. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is a
non-fiction book about the conviction of those who murdered the Clutter family.
In this book Capote tries to prove his argument that the murderers are victims
to the murder, as well as the murdered.
Overall, I rather enjoyed the book; it showed aspects of
a murder from the killers’ perspective, which is something that is often
disregarded. I would give this book four stars because it takes a tragic real-life
story and turns it into something unbelievable, as the stories in crime TV
shows often are, all while keeping the facts. This is a skill that is not very
common, in my opinion, and that’s what makes it interesting. I would recommend
this book to anyone who likes crime related TV shows, movies, or books, and for
anyone who might have to read a non-fiction book, but doesn’t find them
interesting. I personally, am not a fan of non-fiction but I found this book
quite interesting and would definitely read it again.
