I believe there is a significant difference in a true crime book and a violent fiction book. The violent fiction book is usually written mainly for entertainment as the true crime book is a real story so it has a deep underlined meaning found in reality. True crime connects more with the audience as they known that this could happen to anyone and Capote does this very well in ICB because he draws on the audiences emotions very often. In violent fiction, the reader can get a thrill from what is happening as well as hide from the truth and say "That's not real so I'm ok." I believe true crime makes for a better story because anyone can relate to it and I makes the reader part of the story.

I agree with Noah. In violent fiction we as the reader experience a thrill from the events because it didn't happen to someone so its ok to joke about. It is almost like we deny that such a horrendous thing would occur in real life. It is a lot harder to sympathize and forgive the murderer when it actually happened to other real people. The internal struggle is stronger in true crime books because part of us might feel bad for the murderer but at the same time he murdered four people for little reason.

I agree with this because I believe that this type is genre grips the reader like no other genre can because it has really happened and therefore makes it easier for people to relate too.
