In Cold Blood

By Truman Capote
Nonfiction novel
Paperback
343 pages

In a small town, one evening, a family is brutally murdered. This book follows the crime, the killers, their pursuit and execution. It's an odd book. It was interesting, a little slow in places, and oddly literary in others.
A student recommended it to me, and I think that fact surprises me more than any other. What is it about this book that captures their attention? Maybe because it's a true story.
