As you can tell, we all highly recommend it. You might enjoy the unabridged audio version more.

I totally agree. Do not mess with this movie -it does not need a do-over.

Slightly OT but I've watched Capote a couple of times recently (Philip Seymour Hoffman is awesome as Truman) and I didn't realise that Harper Lee accompanied him to Kansas to do the research for his book In Cold Blood (which I am also reading at the moment).
Isn't that just chilling? That poor little family.
