Liked It4 of 4 members found this review helpful “The vision of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in the film adaptation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is so iconic and inescapable that, even forty-seven years later, it is virtually impossible to read the original novella except through the lens of the film darkly. And yet Capote’s voice, with its...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This was an alright read. The character Holly was interesting, but I don't see why so many guys liked her or why she was considered to be a New York socialite. Oh well, at least it's short.”

“Can’t believe it took me this long to read this book, as I’m a fan of the movie. Just love Audrey Hepburn. I was surprised to learn the book is set in the 1940’s, not the 60's as the movie was, and this added an interesting twist to the story. While “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was quite enjoyable, it was the short story “Christmas Memories” that caught my heart. ”

“A little different from the movie. I like Holy's character but the story is dull and doesn't have any bombshell and imaginative stuff.”

“The book is okay. If I'm being honest, the protagonist gets on my nerves. For once I prefer the movie; however, the extra short stories were all good.”

“I'm pretty sure I love this book and movie more than life itself. It's only 111 pages but I LOVE it. It is about Holly Golightly and "Fred" who befriend eachother in their apartment complex. She is wild, young woman (about in her 20s) who runs away from home, polishes her Okie accent, and becomes more sophisticated and "new-york-like". Fred slowly falls in love with her but their relationships does not go anywhere. Instead, Holly leans toward a Brazilian diplomat who promises everything in the world to her. This is a very raw review about Breakfast At Tiffany's but there are so many characters, sometimes it's hard to catch up. The movie strays away from the plot of the book a lot but I still love Audrey Hepburn's acting. I reccomend this book to any teenage girl who wants a very, very quick read and a pick me up. It's full of love, complication, and happiness.”
