Because of the hype surrounding this book (the fact that it is the first real "true crime" book, as well as the recent movie "Capote"), I was intrigued. However, the book doesn't live up to the hype at all. Capote completely fictionalizes most of the book, writing thoughts and conversations to which he was never privy. While the nature of the crime is shocking, the writing about it was disappointing.
