I tried to like In Cold Blood and I simply hated the book and found it torturous to read and I gave up after about 100 pages. I really wanted to like the book and I just couldnt. The book moves at such an incredibly slow pace and I kept waiting for there to be some payoff..some buildup or something worthwhile. I can't think of another book that I didnt finish.

I mean this is all seriousness - what is so good about this book?

funny - I asked Mrs. Utah if this post sounded stupid and she confessed that she couldn't make it through the book either.

I was greatly dissapointed, also. As far as true crime goes, Helter Skelter is light-years better.
