That being said, I came across this interview on youtube that Capote gave about how the book came to be. I was totally flabbergasted by his ability to separate himself from the Clutter family and their horrific deaths. Was he human? Did he have no compassion at all?

Now you need to watch the movie Capote http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379725/
To Kill a Mockingbird is also one of my favorites too. My Aunt lives in Monroeville so I've seen Harper Lee a few times. One time she sat behind us at church – not sure what that sermon was about, I was busy planning what I was going to say to her!!!
