This book was so slow. I spent most of the book very confused because the author Truman Capote was all over the place. There were no breaks between what he was talking about. I also didn’t like how there were no chapters, instead it was a 4 part books, which confused me even more, nothing was separated. The writing style also confused me.

they do not go into full detail about the rape. It is just mentioned that one of the suspect was tempted to rape someone. They also do mention that one of the suspects also had a thing for little girls.

I went into this book curious about the origins of modern true crime, and came out of it with a lot of complicated and unexpected emotions. This book bounces around between a half-dozen stories throughout time, which is one of my favorite narrative devices and is executed really well.
