    Although the story didn't involve as much action as an usual murder mystery, the characters were quite adorable, not only because of the fact that they were sheep, but because of their quirky, humorous personalities. The plot did go a little bit slow, and there were interludes between clues, but when the plot developed, it built up suspense and excitement. The main characters were fully developed, and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. There were some parts that gave me a laugh, and I quite enjoyed the simplicity of the novel. I didn't feel like the ending was rushed, unlike other novels where the author seems to just get to the resolution as soon as possible.…

To be objective means that one sticks to the facts and does not base anything around emotions or opinions. Capote demonstrates this with the use of the testimony during the car ride with Smith, Dewey and Duntz. Smith explains the events that unfolded before, during, and after the murder and even confesses to killing all of the family.…
