It is obvious how many effort Truman Capote put in this book. He led an enormous number of interviews and gathered detailed information. But due to the huge amount of information the books seems rather dry and drags on. Especially the parts on the two delinquents can get really boring. As interesting as the insight into their lives and movements are, it is simply two much info. The book is praised by many people and I really appreciate the different aspects and insights Capote gives and the story. Everybody from the police to a worker at the Clutter farm or the murderers parents get their say. But as I mentioned before it feels like an enormous pile of information you have to fight your way through before you get to the end.
