Book Reviews of In Cold Blood
Book Review: CAPOTE'S MASTERPIECE
Summary: 5 Stars
When this book was first published it was a sensation, it makes the furor over the Da Vinci look mild in comparison and it made Capote a superstar. What makes this book unique, besides the fantastic writing, was the fact that Capote completely emersed himself in this project, he turned over every stone and completely manipulated everyone involved, to learn every angle of the story. This book is a complete tour de force, this is a book you will never forget, not just because of the crime, so vividly recreated, but also due to Capote's haunting prose. Highly recommended, lives up to all the hype. It's just a shame it ruined Capote, as nakedly ambitious as he was, he was also a true talent.Book Review: Scott Brick Is an Exceptional Reader! (Stunning Book Too)
Summary: 5 Stars
While I love literature, I usually avoid books on tape. Most readers irritate me, and I feel impatient because I could get more out of the text by reading it myself. Not so here! Scott Brick's compelling, thoughtful performance enhanced my experience of the book, without ever feeling over-done or melodramatic. The book itself is fascinating too. I loved the way Capote weaves dramatic tension into a story whose end we all know. The telling is sensitive, poignant, and outright spell-binding. Bravo!Book Review: Great Book - Long Listen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great classic but you have to devote some time to listening to the CDs, as you would to read the book. Can't complaint about the convenience though; ability to listen to the CDs while driving, at work, at home, etc. is wonderful. If you haven't tried an audio book yet, do so, you will find it to be quite an experience!Book Review: Excellence!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been a Scott Brick (Narrator)fan. Now I am also a Truman Capote fan. I can not recommend this book enough. After I listened to this masterpiece I rented the movie "Capote". It was also a great experience.Book Review: Worth the read, or in my case, worth the listen
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the book many years ago, enjoyed it then, and after the movie Capote, decided to listen to the book. It was great in both audio and book form. Capote was really intrigued by these two murderers so, most of the story involved their lives. The details of the act itself was scarey.
