This book is creepy, I'm not going to lie. It is the true story of the murders of a small town family, that shook the town to its core. Truman Capote wrote a book about the case, and spend a great deal of time with the two murderers. He grew to know them and their background, and tried to understand why they did what they did. Oddly enough, he actually ended up falling in love with one of the killers. This is not portrayed in the book, just a side note. This book is a little slow moving, but a very interesting look into the minds and motives of killers.
This book is PG--a little violence, and disturbing images.
p.s. if you have access to edited movies, watch the movie "Capote" before or after you read the book. It is outstanding, and shows the story of how he wrote this book. It is rated R.
