Unabridged Audiobook
I really wanted to like it but it's boring. I don't know maybe it's just me but I could literally not give two shits about the perpetrators. Yeah it's written well blah blah blah.
Story was well done but the reader made it to where I wanted to quit listening. Arlo Guthrie meets Forrest Gump.
I feel a little guilty in enjoying this book because it tells the slaughter of an innocent family but what an amazing read, to get to know the characters and the world that they lived in, a different time but maybe a more honest time. The narrator Scott Brick was a joy to listen to. I highly recommend this book, one of the best that I have listened to for a long time.
He reads to slow and the book is boring . I would not recommend this book to anyone
The depravity of human behavior lies just below the surface of social interaction.
story was very well told. I've always enjoyed Truman Capote's work. I understand why he didn't publish anything after this book I imagine it took so much out of him.
Classic book
Beautifully read
The book was unexpectedly fantastic but the narrator took it to an even higher level!
Excellent read and listen.
absolutely loved this book. So well written and such great story telling. The Narrator was awesome
An amazing read. 10/10 would recommend. I read this book in high school back in 2013 and it really opened my eyes. It made me very interested in forensics and a want to pursue Criminal Justice in college. Transformative
A must Read,lest free

Gripping from begin to end.
Very tastefully done for true crime.
Beautifully written. A superb insight.
Great story telling and great story in general
I continue to be amazed just how many times my mind drifts back to elements of this book, even though it's been about three months since I finished it. It's disturbing yet mesmerizing all the same. A true classic.
Excellent story captivating , kept me intrigued from the first words read . Really enjoyed the narrator's tone
Loved Truman Capote's writing style and language. I decided it was time to "read" this book after watching "Capote". I avoided it in the past, fearing it was too gruesome and awful. I think the writing was exceptional.
There is a reason this book remains captivating 50 years later. In an age where we are desensitized to violence, this book managed to rattle me and seep into my dreams. Capote's lyrical descriptions and the way he weaves the stories of the family, the convicts, and the law is intoxicating. A must read!
This was a great story that pulled me right into the middle of the lives of everyone involved. The narrator was excellent in his portrayal of each character. I'd recommend this book!
Truman Capote was truly at his best with this novel...I felt that the characters were my neighbors and friends. I had a hard time putting the book down, and at the end wanted more
