I can see the complexity of Holly Golightly, the various themes of the book (brought by Holly), the mastered writing style but I failed to see the point of this novel if it’s not to create an American icon (Capote didn’t fail to that). Holly is this girl that you might hate or love but you sure can’...
Breakfast at Tiffany's:I have never seen the movie, but I definitely didn't expect this. Holly was not as classy and glamorous as I thought she would be, she was quirky and modern and I really warmed up to her and her behaviour quickly.Although I thought that her behaviour and her actions were irrat...
This was hard to rate. I liked the writing style and ease of reading this book and solely for that I've bumped it up a star rating, otherwise it might have only managed 2 stars. I liked Holly Golightly's character, but in the end I didn't find there was much depth to the story and it left me underwh...
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the book is always better than the movie. In this case, it was just... different. I have to admit I made a little mistake: I watched the movie first, years ago. So, I was hoping something else, obviously. It's a novella, a quick read, so Holly doesn't have...

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.THIS IS A BOOK WOULD BREAK THE HEART.So using a quote from the movie let lunch in to this.This is not the movie in book form. After reading t...
Breakfast of Tiffany's is better known for its film version starring Audrey Hepburn than the novella by classic author Truman Capote. Yet, as with many notable interpretations on film, the book itself differs from the film, losing the romanticised ending and becoming an interesting exercise in styli...
So I have somehow gone my entire life without ever seeing the movie version of Breakfast at Tiffany's, but I did see the play on Broadway a few months ago. I'd heard the stage version was much truer to the book than the movie, so I figured I should get around to reading it.This is a slim little nove...
This book and I, we've had this date from the beginning. Or, at the very least, from about '95 or so when that song came out. I saved the movie until after I read this, too, though Mickey Rooney might still back-taint my experience. What a terrible man.Anyway I'm glad to have gotten around to this a...
A fascinating novella. Really it is a character study of Holly Golightly. The character of the writer that narrates it emerges, but the focus really is an exploration of Golightly. She is a fascinating person, who fascinates everyone around her. It's all very well done. One could look for more ...
