I was utterly absorbed with this book and the portrayal by Capote of the two killers. The backstory of the impact this had on Capote is equally dramatic and I'd like to discover more about that. Capote manages to challenge the reader to view the killers on different levels and manages to humanise them despite the callous and vile crime they committed; and we mustn't forget, they both colluded and took part in the crime they were charged with, despite doubt about who actually pulled the trigger. The book evoked a gambit of emotions for not only the criminals but their victims, their families and the law enforcement officers that had to deal with the aftermath of a shocking event.
