The book is incredibly descriptive as is expected with Capote’s work. But it does drag on quite a bit, and the ending feels irresolute. It explores the trials and tribulations of a young boy at the end of childhood and into the murkiness of adulthood. It’s a book about a boy discovering the many different facets of death, and his near-grasp with death towards the end of the book. Everything about the plot is quite abstract so you may find yourself reading passages over and over again to comprehend it.
You might need to use outside sources to decipher the book and understand it in it’s entirety, as the book is difficult to understand on its own.
