| In Cold Blood by Truman Capote I swear, if no one on here knows who Truman Capote is, I'm going to be really pissed. Anyway, the book is about the 1959 murder of a family in Holcomb, Kansas. People say it's one of the best crime documentaries ever written, however, everyone I've talked to doesn't know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I read the book out of my own interest, and want someone to discuss it with. __________________ "That time was like never, and like always.

| I read that book a very long time ago. I liked it a lot, specially because it was a true story. Capote did a great job, and it wasn't an easy one. Those were real people he was writing about. I finnished reading it very quickly, in 2 days, I think. I couldn't put it down. __________________ I wish I had a river. | |||

I saw the movie and liked it. The novella is a lot similar to the movie so far. My friend read In Cold Blood and really liked it and I plan on reading it sometime. __________________ ~Stephanie~ Hayden Christensen's board is Celebrating 100K posts | |||

| Hey [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I read this book last year and loved it! I thought they dragged out the ending with the trail etc. a bit too long though, it got boring the last 60 pages I think. When he killed the daughter I almost cried lol the book was really great I agree. __________________ It was a real relationship, it was just real dysfunctional. That's for sure. | |||

I prefer the book's ending. It's sad and misterious. I can't remember if the book said Fred's real name. I thought that was his real name. I should look it up. __________________ I wish I had a river. | |||
