Capote's style of writing is amazing! Throughout the book, I truly felt like I was there, witnessing each event. Some of his descriptions are incredibly unique and engaging: "Except for taking off his boots, he had not troubled to undress. He had merely fallen face down across the bed, as though sleep were a weapon that had struck him from behind"
The level of detail is incredible; at times, it was a bit overwhelming and maybe even tedious, but this hardly took away from the gripping narrative. I'm blown away by this book.
