In Cold Blood

That we already know the outcomes of Dick and Perry does NOT take away from Capote's magnum opus.

The gruesome and gory details of the killing is set against the humanness of Perry. Do the killers deserve the death penalty or should we be better than and show empathy?

It is an absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching tale of forcing the reader to view criminal actions and the people who do such actions in a completely different light. That it has automatically been put in my Top 5 must read books speaks volumes. I implore you to give this book a chance.
