(I'm editing my score from 3.75 to a 4.25. After thinking about it a little bit more and learning more about Truman Capote, I actually appreciate Breakfast at Tiffany's more... and have become more iffy regarding the movie)

For some reason, I decided to read another of Capote's works.

I like how free-spirited Holly is. But overall I don't really care for the characters.

The writer „Fred“ is in love with Holly and gives us insight into Holly's crazy life.

Page 20, at least a little bit.
Lidi si samozřejmě mysleli, že jistě jsem taky teplá. A to se ví, že jsem. Jako každý: aspoň trochu. No, a co?

I liked the end because it was realistic and made the whole book make more sense.

I could get around without reading this book but it wasn't horrible.

4.0

Everything I thought I knew about the main character of this book from posters of Audrey Hepburn and collective pop culture surrounding the movie--did not quite capture the mood of this novella. Holly Golightly (the one within the pages of this book) is completely unpredictable and very entertaining. I haven't actually seen the movie (oops) so I came in pretty blind about the storyline. And spoiler alert: there really isn't one! It's just a character study and series of vignettes about a fearlessly confident, wacky, vivacious young woman determined to reinvent herself on the Upper East Side as a glamorous party girl. This isn't a cutesy, cleaned up story; there are some dark elements to it involving Holly's past that feel more than a little icky when held up to a modern day light. But all in all, this short, peppy little story has a lot of heart to it and for lack of a better word, is a total vibe. Perfect quick plane read!
