Title: Truman Capote at his finest
Review: In Cold Blood is another masterpiece by Truman Capote. Capote uses his excellent style of writing to capture the reader's attention from the first page. He uses such language to set the plot that the novel seems to be of a fictional account, but is based off of the true events of the November 12, 1959 murders of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. Capote's incredible use of imagery allows one to see the places he is describing vividly. With the painstaking detail that he uses, one follows the story from the two perspectives, switching back and forth between the Clutter family, and the murderers Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, almost move by move. With such great detail and a compelling story, In Cold Blood is one of the best true crime novels written, and a reminder of Capote's creative brilliance.
