That we already know the outcomes of Dick and Perry does NOT take away from Capote's magnum opus.

The gruesome and gory details of the killing is set against the humanness of Perry. Do the killers deserve the death penalty or should we be better than and show empathy?

It is an absolutely heartbreaking and gut wrenching tale of forcing the reader to view criminal actions and the people who do such actions in a completely different light. That it has automatically been put in my Top 5 must read books speaks volumes. I implore you to give this book a chance.

A lot of people who read this book told me they found it confusing at times. And I'd have to agree. Unlike “conventional” novels Roy jumps through time and back again which can often make it confusing. Other than that though, it was a pretty good read. I enjoyed it.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book when I first came across it; I don't tend to like back/forth storylines however the writing blew my mind. Every page is as enticing and gripping as the previous one. A truly addictive read.

If I'm being truly honest I hated this book to begin with. It seemed slow moving and nothing happened. However as I got into it and studied it a little more I understand what Conrad was trying to do. I mean he fails miserably, but I got it and it became a book I quite like.

I found this a bit boring at first. It took a while to get into because of the overload in detail, but once you get past that it's really easy to get into.
