A review by alliepeduto
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

Did not finish book. Stopped at 45%.

I’m feeling a little bogged down. I famously dislike true crime, and while I find it immensely helpful to read the “original” true crime novel, I can’t escape the gloomy acknowledgement that this really happened. It’s tragic and horrible, and while I appreciate what Truman Capote is doing (and the writing is phenomenal if a little melodramatic), it feels kind of gross to relish in the drama when 4 lives were cruelly cut short. This may be a situation where I find the story of the story more interesting, but I do owe it Capote to read some of it, so here we are.
