A review by msvenner
Summer Crossing by Truman Capote
3.0
I feel unqualified to review this work, but here goes. This is my second Capote work, the first being In Cold Blood. Capote' prose stunning, even in this early work. The story, however, is lacking. Despite the brevity of the novel, I found my mind wandering. There was little plot to hold the interest until the end and then it was jarring. Capote' use of language is mesmerizing but was better used in the gripping literary nonfiction tale of In Cold Blood. This story read beautifully but bored.
