Pros
- In cold blood- 5/5
- In Cold Blood literally pioneered this genre!
- In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
- Wow. Damn. I loved it. I love Capote’s writing. But I listened to it…maybe that made a difference.
- In Cold Blood. I thought it was brilliant and I never want to re-read it.
Cons
- The pacing and writing style was weird to me too. Like he was making a huge deal of things that seemed less relevant and glancing over things that seemed important. I can't stand In Cold Blood, and I'm glad I'm not the only one.
- It felt like a slog and I felt like a lot of the people mentioned weren't super relevant? I feel like we spent an awful long time talking about the postmistress and I'm still not sure why.
- I've seen "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote heavily recommended, so I was excited to read it - but I could not fucking stand it. It took me a month, but I finally finished it (I know, I know, but I HAD to). I found it to be incredibly boring
