After extensive research into the true crime of murder of the Clutter family this book was written by Truman Capote. It covers the lives of family survivors, friends, the criminals, and analysis of the possible reasons for this horrible crime.

It is written like a novel and is packed with details that show scenes to keep the reader interested.

After researching and writing this book Truman Capote is so personally affected he never writes again.

Readers and writers of true crime would be interested in reading this book.

I liked the way this book was written. The details were interesting and helped me understand what happened.

I gruesomeness of the crime is disturbing and I hope I never come close to such an experience.

I wanted to take a break from reading true crime books.

I felt like I had been in the story and witnessed this horrible event.

The details of this book show the depth of the research conducted, the responses of people to this crime, and how it effected people for many months to come.

For sure crime enthusiasts this is a thoroughly researched book, it has details from many peoples knowledge of the situation, and it shows the reader the scenes so they can be part of these events.

The writing style is an interesting reading experience, the book kept me interested in reading, and I learned about peoples reactions and emotions when faced with the horrors of brutal crimes.

The details of the crime and the criminals can be very disturbing for some readers.

Reading this book gave me insight into true crime and how to write about fictional or true crime.
