A fascinating account of a brutal crime told with humanity and gentility.

When I got to the end of the book, I wanted to read it again. What I find most fascinating is trying to decide how much of the killers' characterizations were coloured by Capote's personal impressions and how accurate the opinion of psychiatrists were; everybody has biases and the author really let that shine, I think.
