Breakfast at Tiffany's Paperback – 27 April 2000

❤ ''Dont you just love it'' ''Love What?'' '' Tiffany's '' ❤What girl hasn't seen this movie or read the book and wanted to be just like Holly Golightly.I decided to read Breakfast at Tiffany’s because of the iconic movie in which Audrey Hepburn plays a 19-year-old Holly Golightly. At 176 pages this is a light read, and structured more like a story than a novel. The author paints her in a way that makes you struggle between admiring her, and feeling sorry for her.This is an old time classic and Truman Capote's Is an Amazing writer. His descriptions are so vivid that, as your thinking them up in your mind, it's as if you're actually in the story. Capote is a magnificent storyteller.Would without a doubt recommend darlings

I had to read one of Capotes’s longer works after being entranced by a melancholic collection of his short stories, and like many readers before me I now find myself captivated by the character of Holly Golightly.As her adopted surname suggests, and the card on her mailbox confirms, she is happiest when constantly travelling lightly through life, countries and even people, and disaster only comes when she starts to depend on people and thinks about settling down. However while Holly goes lightly she crushes hearts and sticks in minds.she treads much more heavily on people’s hearts and she certainly sticks in our minds.We however get to be “Fred”. Almost the only flawless character in the book, he is our constant viewpoint. We seem to come to know him well yet by the end we realise we don’t know his history, nor how he sustains himself, nor even what his real name is. However at the end he still can’t help hoping that Holly is happy and because he can’t, then neither can we.Oh and do read the three great Capote short stories that usually also come collected with this novella. And what next after that? Well I do believe that there was some 1960’s film or other based on this – I wonder if it’s any good….

Interesting characters, different from the characters, reminiscent of the atmosphere of Goodbye to Berlin by Isherwood. Sally Bowles ans Holly Golightly, both intriguing.

I have wanted to read this book for years, because I love the film and adore Audrey Hepburn, but heard that the book actually portrays Holly Golightly slightly differently to how Audrey did in the film. I received the book two days ago and have read it, (it is a short story). I found it very interesting to compare the differences between it and the film, although the film does take what I consider to be the best bits from the book and utilize them to its advantage. The book is very small, and has German translations at the bottom of each page. I am not sure if it was described as having this and I missed it, or not, but I found this strange at first, although it did not spoil my enjoyment of the book and I got used to it. The book was a good price too, and the only down side was I paid about twice what the book cost in postage and packing.

A beautiful book cover - pretty artwork, good quality and well-made. It was bought as a gift for a Breakfast at Tiffany's fan, and I'm positive she'll love it!

Beautiful book!Just a heads up to those that either have or are wanting to add this to match their other clothbound classics collection - they are smaller than the classics height wise.This is because they are a different clothbound collection.Still just as beautiful!

This is the ONLY book that Ive ever read where I actually prefer the film version. I probably should have read some of the Amazon reviews before I purchased it but it was cheap enough so its not a particularly big deal. I also got a bit confused for a second when I finished breakfast as Tiffanys as I didn't realise there was other short stories included and at first thought it was a continuation/new chapter of Hollys life (Id had a long day). Overall, its a nice easy little read if youre travelling somewhere I guess but Id definitely recommend the film over the book.

This is an illustrious version of the classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s. What better way to read the great Truman Capote’s work than like this. So throughly recommend
