2.5 stars. I was bored. Jamie felt one dimensional, Edward was a caricature of a gay man, and even the characters I loved from the first book seemed devoid of personality. No chemistry at all. I'm so disappointed as I've been looking forward to this book since I finished reading the first one.

Mixed feelings about this one. Holly Golightly was such an enigmatic figure when she burst upon the scene.

Not as much fun as the film, but much darker and more thought-provoking

I have not seen the movie inspired by this book, although I have always meant to due to the draw of Audrey Hepburn. However, while I am eager to watch the classic I wanted to first read the novel it is based on, albeit loosely (or so I've heard). Overall the story is well written and a bit surprisin...

I have to say, I'm not the biggest fan of the novella or the short story. It always (as my mother said to me today, and I couldn't agree more) leaves me wanting more. But I suppose the fact that I wasn't unsatisfied in my desire for more in this novella, says wonders.

Fast, bubbly, delicious. Though not my type of book, it was cute and really easy to dig into, and I think it's truly a book to satisfy all people, no matter what genre you like or what type of characters you prefer, you can find something in this book to attract you.
