Cyril Araneta _ycy2 — If you have noticed me "expressing gratitude" lately, it is because of this book. This book is like the 12 step program for happiness. It is meant to be practical. Now go exercise and report back.

Kelly Wagner kwagne — ** spoiler alert ** In Cold Blood by Truman Capote is an extremely well written novel that is based on true, horrific happenings in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas. Capote attempts to take his writing to a whole new level by becoming sympathetic with one of the murderers, Perry Smith, and by revealing the simplistic flaws of all humans through his words. The very factual form of his writing technique blends well with the emotional hue he lays between the lines. The actual killings, however, do little to set your mind at ease. Herb Clutter raised a fine family in Holcomb, Kansas. He did well in the farming industry and had made quite a profit, raising his four children to be very happy and social. His two youngest – Nancy and Kenyon – were still living with him and his wife, Bonnie, when the murders occurred. Their deaths seemed to happen without reason. When their bodies were found, brutally murdered from shotgun blows to the head, no one could think of any reason for someone to do such a horrid thing to the Clutter family. Suspicions arose and everyone in Holcomb became afraid. Once the investigations started, everyone had to look for clues in places they’d never looked before – it seemed they would never find the killers. Capote doesn’t dwell on the murders for very long, but instead takes us on a trip with the murderers – Perry and Dick. These two men enjoyed a meal together before murdering the Clutter family, and then afterwards returned to their families with smiles on their faces and a mind free of guilt. Well, Dick did, anyway – Capote wrote through and through that Perry was feeling sore all along. The murderers decide to flee to Mexico, pawning off a few items for spending money and hoping that their dreams will be found in the Mexican south. It wasn’t quite what it seemed, though, and so they continued their travels elsewhere. Fate landed them in Nevada, with their stolen car from Iowa, which landed them in prison. Everything tumbled down after that. They were put on trial, found guilty, and each prisoner was hanged. Truman Capote’s love for Perry Smith does little to persuade me, although from the reviews of the book I see that it has persuaded more than a few people. Some say his affection was based on homosexual ties, others say it was more of a brotherly bond – something that is made when two people spend time in a prison cell sharing their life stories. Whatever his affection was based off of, I feel no connection to it. Capote’s view is all about poor, poor Perry Smith – you know, he surely didn’t want to kill those innocent people. It was a mistake, right? That makes everything all right, knowing that Perry hadn’t wanted to kill them once he couldn’t find the safe that supposedly held the money he would steal. Wrong. When it comes right down to the bare facts, Perry and Dick killed a family of four. The Clutter family, God rest their souls, were a good bunch. They certainly weren’t without their flaws, but who of us is? No, what was done to that family was unjust. No soft words or warm tears will change that from being the truth. Overall, I did not like this book. Yes, Capote has a brilliant writing style - his descriptions are magnificent, and the way he captures the character of each person shows how much he put into his work. However, as I was reading it I could sense when Capote’s emotions seeped into his writing. Perry was given a gentler hue than any other character, a touch of something personal that none of the others contained. I’m all for a good story, and for hearing each side and learning about the dark and dirty details as to why things happened, but you can’t make an angel out of a murderer. Perhaps I lack a certain sense of understanding for those who do heinous deeds, but this book did little to move me.
