The story is simple, rigorous, stripped, wrote in a perfectly neutral style. At no time did the author attempts to guide the reader or make an opinion reflected. And that's what makes the book force: the player is alone. Alone, facing the incomprehensible but inevitable crimes, only face more pitiful criminals frightening, especially alone, facing himself in the choice of punishment.
I also recommend, after reading this book, very good movie '' Capote '' Bennett Miller that perfectly describes the genesis of this novel but especially the impact of this incident on the author's life.
