    <body><![CDATA[Best audio book I've listened to since The Thirteenth Tale, and this one is ONLY 3 CDs long. Truly rich narrative and character development. The story is strong from beginning to end. The closest thing I've read to this was probabaly a coming of age story by by Edith Wharton. It is entirely differen...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45873673">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the posthumous release of Capote's first novel, which he never intended for the world to see. The voice is there, and the writing, but the story is dribbling and ultimately abandoned. Still, I'm very pleased they did publish it, though I can see why he didn't want to  -  he sounds comparably...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45635437">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was written near the end of Truman's life.  He did not want the novel to be published, perhaps because he never finished it.  But his good friend, attorney, and keeper of his estate, Alan Schwartz, decided to publish it posthumously anyway.  The story is entertaining and insightful - rich ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36324211">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a bit depressing, but I still LOVED it! I do tend to be drawn to the brooding tales, though. It was Capote's first novel, written at 19. The language is masterful and haunting. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. The ending will really throw you for a loop, though!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book.  This was discovered among some of his papers recently and published in 2004.  Supposedly, Truman wasn't satisfied with it, but those who read it after it's discovery and they agreed it should be published.  Good, quick read, more like a Breakfast at Tiffany's novella length.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Easy read. Interesting, as I don't remember reading a Capote recent in years... A story about a teenager's summer vacation, as her parents are in Europe and she is old enough to stay home by herself for the summer. Adventure and romance make the book enjoyable. ]]></body>
