Rated 5 starsSuch A worthwhile script
This is an amazing script, that anyone who is interested in writing scripts should read. The complexity and subtext of the text will educate you and provide you with the example of what is required to write a truelly amazing script.

Rated 5 starsI don't know if it deserved the Academy Award, BUT ...
I can say that this is a great script, as I've been reading some pages around the internet and I'll surely buy this book very soon. The dialogue, as well as the whole script, is very realistic, and also very enjoyable. I can't say if it really deserved the Award, but I can say that this script deserves to be read by every screenwriting fan.

Rated 5 starsThis script deserved the Academy Award
Dan Futterman is a genius. It is pure magicianship how he weaves the texts of "Capote" the biography, "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote and whatever other research material he depended on, (not to mention his own witty imagination) into this gripping, thorough, and accomplished story. I am so sorry he got knocked down by the "Brokeback" voters - I've read both screenplays and their source materials and have seen both movies...
