When you think about it, In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany’s have a lot in common. Both have to deal with criminals, and talk about a trial. Both the books start with background information that leads up how the characters get in trouble with the law. I’ve never actually read a book that tells you everything about the characters and then tells you what they did that was so interesting. Usually I’ve read or seen a movie in which you know what happens, and then people try and figure out how it happened. I wonder why Capote chose to write like that?
