Posted by Mark Carolan (25 weeks ago ) Excellent book. Brilliantly written and absolutely fascinating despite having seen the movies recently. Fanatastic insight into the minds of murderers, the pain of locals, the drive and effort of law enforcement. how fear feeds on thoughts and grows as a single entityy. I was brought back to that world, and so much more fascinating for the truth within the story. its really us.
Posted by siescierto (1 year ago ) Chilling portrayal of the killers, but so well written it's hard to put down once you begin. Capote makes the killers as human as possible, without idealizing them at all.
