Requested by a fellow bookcrosser. So I searched the shelves and found a copy. Sending it off to Illinois.

One of the best books I have ever read. I like the genre of true crime, but this was far better than the average true tale of murder. The depth of this book was incredible. Capote writes so descriptively, I had to put the book down periodically because it was so real and so intense. The amount of research Capote did for this was staggering. He left no stone unturned. I loved reading about the time period, which came to life with the recounting. My book club just watched the 1968 movie with (ironically) Robert Blake doing a superb job as Perry Smith, and John Forsythe as Detective Dewey. I wonder what ever happened to all the survivors in this tale. How did they live their lives out?

Sent to a fellow book crosser at the request of bflybabe.

I am planning to read this book right away. I've trying to get it for years!
