1.5
While it's one of the cornerstones for True Crime as a literary phenomena, it's incredibly insensitive to the victims and those around them. It's frankly a bit disgusting the way that Capote describes these horrible acts as if they didn't happen to real people who had real hopes and dreams and lives.
