In Cold Blood by Truman Capote


I don't usually read true stories, because they tend to get boring. This one is incredibly exciting, because it tells a real story, recreating it and rewriting it with a lot of inside views,which makes it much more interesting. all the people here are understood by the writer, and there are no monsters, just people wyho do mistakes and pay for them. All of them are fascinatingly complex. The writing is great and I found it original. The characters atart by being described, in a very traditional way, and then you get to see whothey actually are. The sentences are offten really poetic and touching, and some of them are really disturbing. Everything gets more amazing when you know this actually hapenned. Overall, a fascinating read and a classic of modern literature.
