In cold blood critique

In cold blood is alleged to be one of the first non-fiction books ever written. Truman Capote`s remarkable police-like investigations lead to an interesting book based on the real story of the Clutter family. Two main topics are developed, the psychological relationship between the two murders, and the impact of the quadruple murder in the village and the murderers` lives.
The style of the book is tremendously detailed, and stating to be a real story, some information is deficient in authenticity. Capote´s book would have been more convincing if he had related his findings to only real and checked information. Some impressive dialogues from the book have a very strong impact on the reader. One of the most famous quotes comes from the voice of Perry, the Clutter`s family murder. Perry: It doesn't make sense. I mean what happened. It had nothing to do with the Clutters. They never hurt me. They just happened to be there. I thought Mr. Clutter was a very nice gentleman... I thought so right up to the time I cut his throat (Capote, 1996, p 95).
Reading In cold blood will make the reader dive into the lives of two rotted men who took the lives of four innocent people without any reason. As taken from a real story, the plot is well-known, so no suspense is achieved, though the development of the story is interesting and complex. No personal opinion is being made by Capote and facts are just facts. The reader is left with reality to process and come up with their own conclusions. Reading In Cold Blood is a must to detective stories followers.
