Enjoyed the writing, but felt that I missed out a bit by listening to it rather than reading it. I liked the long passages excerpted from others' letters and statements. The book had a lot of background on all of those involved - the Clutters, as well as Hickock and Smith. The information about life on death row was fascinating. 
 I would've liked to know more about how Capote did his research. What was he present for? Did he interview the families of the criminals or the criminals themselves, or did he get police reports? It's disappointing that some portions of the book were fabricated, because the story overall is excellent.
