Summary: A great look into the crimminal mind- excellent plot.
Review: Capote does a wonderful job of delving into the killers motives. You can tell he really worked a long time on the psycology of the ciminal mind.
Rating: 
Summary: Good Read, Intense and Definitley Suspenseful
Review: There were parts that were quite chilling and gruesome. Capote uses good detail and description. However, there were some areas of the book that ran rather slow, and could have used a 'little pick me up'. All in all though, a very good read.

Summary: See how the other half live
Review: TC's In Cold Blood is probably not a good book if you are a convict, an ex-con or someone with a loved one in the slammer. These types of people probably have heard many similar tales of the criminal mind and what it can achieve.But if are a model citizen with no experience in incarceration, In Cold Blood offers in my opinion an amazing insight into the world of crime and its consequences. Reading the book is almost as good as meeting the real characters, due to TC incredible capacity to bring the story to life. It's as almost as if TC was tagging along with the killers on their murderous rampage. Indeed, one must question the sanity of TC after reading the book - can a writer get into the shoes of such twisted and sick characters without being twisted and sick themselves. Food for thought that in no way whatsoever subtracts from TC's amazing accomplishment in putting this novel together.

Summary: Best book I have ever read
Review: I read this book at 13 at the recommendation of my brother, and it was as magnificent a literary achievement as I have ever read. ALL the people in it are depicted as human beings, deep and sometimes unpredictable. This is a genuine masterpiece.

Summary: Its a great book!
Review: I had to read "In Cold Blood" for my Advanced Placement English class, and I thought that it was going to be a boring book. Well, once I started reading, I was intrigued, and I couldn't put the book down. It is such a tragic story of death, but an edge of your seat story. I think everyone should read this book sometimes in their lives, I'm glad that I chose to read it!

Summary: A book on a documentary of the Clutter family killings
Review: I was reading through some of these reviews.One of them shocked me he gave it one star cause he thought that the documentary was about the author trying to make people feel pity for the killers.That is what i don't understand. The author is telling the story like it is.It is a documentary.It was not his own story.I have read this for summer reading going into ninth grade.I choose this book because i heard a lot of praise. It was a very well written book.

Summary: NOTHING BETTER.
Review: I was born in Garden City, Ks. I had heard about the Clutter killings all of my life. I did not get to read the book until 1986. After I had read the book I become possessed. It really pulls you in. In 1996, I lived in Holcomb, just one block from the house where the murders took place. Nothing has really changed in the small town. It is a little bigger, I guess. Holcomb has had it's share of bad press in the past but it is really a GREAT small town.

Summary: True crime classic
Review: Im going into the tenth grade, but I felt like reading this since I am interested in pursuing a career in criminology/Behavioral Science. Basically, I read it for the hell of it. It is one of the better true crime narratives out there, ranking with The Stranger Beside Me and Bitter Blood. Good book,will read it again.

Summary: Interesting Epic
Review: This was a good book, although long but very insightful into the details of a real crime and its ramifications into the psyche of people. It comes really close to showing the complexities of human life and misery.

Summary: AWESOME SO FAR- A MUST READ
Review: Most of the on-line reviews have said that most of us have had to read this book for school. The one thing I found different was that I have to read it for school, but I am only going into ninth grade, most of you have said you had to read it for avanced English classes, 10th grade summer reading, etc. However I liked the book just as much, though I still have the last part left. I think it will be a book that I am willing to read again and would recommend it to anyone.
