In Cold Blood by Truman Capote


I had decided to give this book a five stars rating, at first. I enjoyed how he developed the characters and got you involved in their lives. I liked the way Mr. Capote gently brought the reader into how the murders were initiated instead of bringing up the gory details all at once. 

But, the last chapter caused me to give the book four stars. Mr. Capote seemed as if he didn't know how to end the book. I felt as if I was studying a law book; and I did not understand why he included the cases of several death row prisoners. I know he was trying to make a case for or against the death sentence but to me that was for another book. I almost couldn't finish it. Thus, the four stars rating.
