Title: When a simple robbery goes horribly wrong
Review: While In Cold Blood has a chilling, gruesome an twisted plot in itself, the only thing more twisted than this plot is the minds of the charachters themselves. Not only was the crime heinous and horrifying, the psycological reasons behind could have filled a book twice the length of this one. Thankfully, Mr. Capote knew exactly what the right blend of physical evidence, (plot), and psycho-history would draw the reader in, yet not confuse the average Joe's mind. And the depth and description of the actual slayings is horrific, yet fascinating. I give this book a 9 only because of the extensive background of every single other inmate on Death Row with the two. It really detracted from the story. It was kind of like saying after 20 pages: "Oh yeah, back to the main charachters." All in all, however, a great book.
Is the review positive or negative?
