4.0

This was a very interesting read. The story ranged from sweet and lighthearted but also tapped into darker themes such as anti-semitism, class relations etc. Even more interesting was the fact that it was published after Capote passed away at the discretion of his friend and lawyer. 

Though it wasn’t groundbreaking in anyway and did certainly read like a slightly unfinished, unrefined work it was still certainly worth it. I think Capote had an interesting and flowing writing style which is easily accessible and satisfying.
