In Cold Blood Fiction vs. Non Ficiton

Truman Capote writes In Cold Blood in a very strange way compared to other books that I have read. What I mean by this is that Capote writes about a non fiction event in a fiction way. He took an event that was surruoned by mystery and gave it a whole new life by giving the characters and setting a "real feel" to it. I am actually enjoying this type of book. It gives the reader a whole new insight into a real event of American history. I mean if i just read a quick blurb about this in a newspaper I would just have thought it was a terrible event, but now I can actually feel for the people themselves and understand what they were goin through.
