Sehr interessant. Ich habe mir vor dem Lesen etwas anderes unter dem Buch vorgestellt, aber es hat mich trotzdem nicht enttäuscht. Man hat sowohl mit den Opfern als auch mit den Tätern eine Beziehung aufgebaut, was sehr komisch war, gleichzeitig hat es die Geschichte aber auch noch interessanter gemacht.

While it's one of the cornerstones for True Crime as a literary phenomena, it's incredibly insensitive to the victims and those around them.  It's frankly a bit disgusting the way that Capote describes these horrible acts as if they didn't happen to real people who had real hopes and dreams and lives.

4.5

This is another book I’ve read from my long list of classics and I really enjoyed it! I hadn’t heard of it before but it has been claimed as the first narrative non-fiction novel and whether that’s true or not, it was done really well. It’s a fascinating look into a seemingly motiveless crime in rural Kansas. Capote keeps the reader engaged throughout as you learn about and even sympathise with those involved in this chilling quadruple homicide.
