In Cold Blood

Truman Capote (2000), Penguin Books, 352 pages

What a fantastic book. It certainly deserves its status as the classic that it is. I simply could not put it down and found that it could as easily have been written last year as opposed to 40 odd years ago. Much has been written about the writing style of Capote already, and this was the first work of his that I have read. But it truly is a masterpiece and inspires one to try and be able to write such a quality 'non-fiction novel'.
