Title: 5 Star Reviews? For this book?
Review: ... The book I read was long, drawn out, boring to the point of tears. I literally had to put it down for a couple of weeks at a time, or I'd have never finished it. There was too much detail... way too much detail. If I had read one more instance about a pie being baked the day of the murder I would have screamed.Capote is more than sympathetic toward Perry thus the book is not written objectively. He comes to the point of almost saying that the Clutter family was responsible for their own deaths. But even HE can't cross that line. Perhaps this would have been a better read had Capote not gotten the hots for Perry Smith. He tried so hard to make Perry look misunderstood, pitiful, and less culpable than Hickcock.For all the hype ..., I was sadly disappointed in this so-called Classic.
