In Cold Blood

Truman Capote

3.0

dark informative reflective slow-paced

This was very VERY long. I feel that not all the information was necessary, especially when Capote talked about other crimes & criminals. Also, really hated all the use of the n-word. I wish there had been more about the Clutter family, instead of creating such a voice for the murderers.
