Title: Good lord, I appear to be in the minority
Review: As much as this book has been trumpeted, I found it rather tedious. Capote's stab at ambience journalism, while not irresponsible, rather leaves me cold. I suppose that Capote's tangential characters were well fleshed-out, but so unnecessary to the continuance of the story, I wondered if they weren't a bit overdeveloped. I should point out that, unlike the other reviewers, I did not use this novel as a springboard to develop opinions on the death penalty, so perhaps the major charm of the novel was wasted on me. I enjoyed "Breakfast at Tiffany's" a tremendous deal more.
Is the review positive or negative?
