Only read Breakfast at Tiffany's - not the other stories.

I get that this book is a product of its time period but man, there's a lot hard to read in here. On the plus side I think the ending felt more right than the movie's ending.

Wonderful style, but lacking in substance. Quick read, enjoyable, but apart from a writing lesson, there isn't much I can take away from it. ...more

Breakfast at Tiffany's is just the sort of story I like: a short, snappy little character study. The other three stories were quite touching. Truman Capote can really write about loss. ...more

Beautifully written story. The characters are amazing especially Holly Golightly. Read it for the first time or read it again. Either way you won't be able to forget this story. ...more
