A graphic novel (they call it "a drawn novel" but that's just fancy New York words for comic book) about how things might have gone while Truman Capote was researching his famous, genre starting book In Cold Blood. You do not need to have read In Cold Blood beforehand. Capote talks with his good friend Nell about the choices he has for his next piece--a brand new type of book exploring the murders of a family in Kansas, or following around a maid and doing an article about her bosses through the eyes of those who work for them. Nell (also known as Harper Lee) helps him figure out what to do and accompanies him to Kansas.

This was so good! While it isn't a totally true telling of Capote's time in Kansas, it was really interesting to read. The graphic format lets you immerse yourself in the story, travelling from New York City to Kansas, to the house where the murders took place, to the jail cells the accused murderers were held in. A great book if you liked In Cold Blood or just are interested in Capote in general.

I did not have a chance to read this book, but it is effecting my feedback rating. I am giving books 5 stars that I haven't read to improve my feedback rating. I am not recommending the book for my classroom or students since I have not read the book. There needs to be a better system of leaving feedback for books not read.
