A review by hollyway
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I just adore Truman Capote's writing. His powers of storytelling are just as present here as in his fiction. He conjures characters with such colour and precision. This book is abundant with the most striking descriptions, but it all feels so natural and effortless. Of course the story itself is a nightmare - but that's the thing really, is that it's not. It's very real, and Capote renders on every page a haunting portrait of humanity in all its inconvenient nuance.
