This was the only non-fiction/
non-biographical book I think I have ever read. I just don’t like non-fiction,
it makes me slow and I get bored almost immediately. However for some reason,
(actually in all honesty it’s probably because I had just seen Sinister and the
main character is like a modern Capote except family oriented.)I wanted to read
this book. I had actually loved his ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and his obsession
with my girl Marilyn Monroe made me want to read anything of his further. This
in mind I went to the library and checked it out, it took me about a week to
finish this book, it being only 367 pages I should have finished it a lot
sooner. But like I said, non-fiction makes me slow. It was written with a
fiction like story, reconstructing the lives and the last days of the Clutters
and the trip the killers Hickcock and Smith planned and excuted but by the 290
mark it was all newspaper articles and quotation marks and I was done with it
but sheer will forced me to finish it. The story revolves around the murder of
four members of the Clutter who were killed, in you guessed it, Cold Blood. The
reason for the murder was never known and if it hadn’t been for one cell mate a
Mr. Floyd Wells then no one would have ever made the connection. I don’t know
if it was the longevity of it or the fact that it all took place in a sleepy
agricultural town like Kansas
Bitch Please:
The book actually wasn’t all that bad and im sure I would
have liked it better if the killers had been more sinister. However that being
said I don’t think id ever read this if I had known how slow it would be or how
tedious and boring it would end up. Don’t read this unless you have to, I mean
watch the movie, watch Sinister. Its just not worth the effort, it’s long and
you can already guess how it ends.
