Breakfast At Tiffany'sBreakfast At Tiffany’s by Truman Capote
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Here’s a case where the film is far, far, far better than what Capote wrote. Much of the story is in the film. The film chose to end than Capote’s choice to meander off. Though ‘Holly Golightly’ is well written, the rest of the characters are more sketchy than not. ‘Doc’ is well written but walks in and out again. What a disappointment!

The other stories are much the same of Capote rambling on and on and on with no clear end in sight. Not surprisingly, none really end.

There are many clever asides and observances. Maybe Capote should have written one liners instead.

Bottom line: I don’t recommend the book. 4 of 10 points.
