That book was a page turner. Capote can spin a phrase. Reading that book and watching the movie was like watching a train wreck. You just couldn't take your eyes away. They were two scary dudes, for sure. Capote had a "thing" for the Robert Blake character - Perry Smith.

There was a good movie about Truman Capote researching this book and the close releationship he developed with Perry Smith. Released in 2005 "Capote" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote.
