Tru & Nelle by G. Neri

2.0

Not a fan of this one. The pacing was all over the place and the story, what there was of it, was dull and not engaging. The interest of the book lies in the fact that it's based on the real life friendship of Truman Capote and Harper Lee. I am intrigued by that, but I wish this had been more factual and written as a biography. I've read To Kill a Mockingbird, and I recognized the parallels, and I was still slogging through. For the target audience, who will likely not have read or maybe even heard of these two authors, there's very little (I feel) to hold their attention. Maybe my middle school book group will think differently, but I did not enjoy this.
