pick4.5/5
Shocking in both the incredible way it is written and the nature of the crimes it covers. I can see why it's considered a classic of the true crime genre. I don't think I ever would have picked it up, if it wasn't an #auldlangspine pick, but I'm very glad to have read it. I didn't want to put it down. Thanks @cseydel and @monalyisha.
CSeydel I‘m so glad you enjoyed it! I also found it incredibly compelling, more than I expected. I thought it would seem much more dated than it did, but the writing really is outstanding. 3d
sebrittainclark @CSeydel yes, I was also surprised that it didn't really feel dated. I had to keep reminding myself that it was written 60s. I also lived in Kansas for about five years, so it was interesting to see places I remembered referenced. 2d
Singout Is this the one that‘s connected to Harper Lee in some way? 2d
sebrittainclark @Singout I believe she helped with the research for the book. 2d
