Probably good if you are into the True Crime genre. It was on my reading list for school, I found it a little dull and a little unpleasant.

It’s clear Capote is used to writing fiction, there were plenty of times in this book where I forgot it was a true story. Many passages were deeply chilling.

Great way to create the story. Seeing every aspect through many points of view.

Quite compelling. And haunting at times, knowing its a true crime. Takes you into everyone's perspective very well.

This book was insanely creepy, and the beginning and the end were difficult for me to get through because of how gruesome they were. It makes me queasy to think about people who can just kill at the drop of a hat because they look and seem totally normal on the outside. After finishing this book I had to double check the locks a couple times because I couldn't stop thinking about the dude who was thought of as a super nice guy who just murdered his whole family because he wanted his inheritance. The book itself was super detailed and spot on with its facts. But, however interesting some parts of this book might have been, I hope to never think of it again.
