In Cold Blood, Pt.I

I have only read the beginning of this book so far, but I am already pulled in. So far, the book has been introducing characters that come up later on in the story, and introducing the general plot. A very traditional family in a small, Kansas town are brutally murdered by a pair of robbers out on parole and looking for a good "score". They're constant reassuring of each other that there will be "no witnesses" is very eerie foreshadowing for the rest of the book. Truman Capote, the author, is a brilliant writer who is very detailed and is a famous writer. He is able to paint a vivid picture of the setting in rural Kansas, and makes the characters in the story seem like people that you have known for your entire life. Unfortunately, that won't be such a good thing once you get to the point where they are murdered (haha).
