Breakfast at Tiffany's is, of course, the star of the show in this slim volume of short stories. Breakfast is a gem and you can read here many other reviews more eloquent than any wot I could write.The other stories I'd never heard of, never mind having read, before, but they're also engaging reads....

(4.5 Stars)Breakfast at Tiffany’s is one of my favourite films; the costumes and central performance by Audery Hepburn are iconic; and so I was really intrigued to read the novella which it was based on. I knew little of Capote, apart from the fact that there had been biopics about his life which ha...

'Breakfast at Tiffany's':Truman Capote is a beautiful and deft stylest, and a marvelous ironist, combined with an unflinching approach to the thematic content of whatever he is wtiting about. The fact that he gets short shrift in the pantheon of 20th century American writing, versus the likes of his...

Published in 1940 Breakfast at Tiffany's was racy for its time, but reads rather dated now to this reader's eye.

This volume also contains three of Capote's short stories, House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar and A Christmas Memory which I didn't like nearly as much as the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's. My four star rating is only for the latter with the short stories averaging three stars for me.Be warned tho...

Read this lit­tle bril­liant book. It’s an enchant­ing enough story just like Holly is an enchant­ing lit­tle being. And now, try­ing to write about it and find­ing it hard, I real­ize the story is as fleet­ing as her char­ac­ter. As soon as you think you’ve got the story down, you’ve read the last ...

It wasn't until quite recently that I learnt that the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's was actually based on a novella; one written by Truman Capote and published in 1958. I recall my reaction to the movie when I first watched it. It was slow for a little girl, true, but I was fascinated by the characte...

"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a entertaining and well written story that kept me interested, but unfortunately not connected with the characters. The characters are all distant and I never really felt that I knew any of them. Yes, that is one of the points to the story, but I WANTED to be connected to...
