Most of you have probably seen this movie, I took the chance to read it during the end of our Florida trip and our first week back home. Capote has a talent for description. He makes these quirky characters seem so real and vibrant. I enjoyed the fact that the book was different than the movie. I liked the additional characters. I liked that some of my favorite parts of the movie were in the book initially. But overall, Holly Golightly's character is much less delightful, and a lot more certifiable. You can see that her intentions in her wanting to marry rich and live a big life are much less a whim than they seem in the movie. She's pretty calculated, and crazy. It was very interesting, but had me feeling less attached to her character and the writer's fascination with her. And I don't even want to talk about Cat.

On the other hand, I really liked the three short stories that followed the novel. They were called A Diamond Guitar, House of Flowers, and A Christmas Memory. They were all really good. And I think I liked them overall better than Breakfast at Tiffany's.
