Panos Ioannidis Ioannidis panos277 — "In Cold Blood" is arguably one of the most well-known American books ever. Most people know the story whether they know the Clutter family by name or not. Does it live up to the hype? I think if you read the book without knowing anything intimately related to the story (i.e. seen Capote, etc) then, for the most part, yes. Since this novel was the first of its kind upon its release in the early 60s it is easy to see why it has remained a mainstay of the required reading lists. Capote attacks this story as a man possessed. His research and interviews show an almost fanatical fascination with the subjects. There is no denying that he spent a great deal of time painstakingly recreating the lives of all the victims, and by victims I mean not only those murdered, but the killers themselves. I also saw his research as a huge detriment to the book as well. Parts of the story drag mercilessly slow. I don't really feel it necessary to know every mundane detail of the "characters" lives. I don't need to know every town person who has an opinion's entire back story. There is no doubt that Capote is a gifted writer, but I don't think this novel would be as much of a success today as it was at the time. Maybe its because in the age of Larson and Krakauer we've come to expect more of our "historical narratives" or maybe its because we are now desensitized to the senseless act that was the subject of the book. In the third act, after the killers were captured I found getting through the rest of the novel some what laborious. I'm glad I read the book, and I think it is something that everyone should read (it is a classic after all). Know going into it, however, that it does take some commitment.

Sonia Paiva soniamcpai16c7 — Truly entertaining. I have reread this series countless times. Every time I can't seem to decide what to take off the shelf I seem to be drawn to this book.
