Liked It “A perfect little story to start off the summer. Nothing too heady, but quite charming. Capote perfectly captures the city (the Big Apple, that is) in the summer.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “Capote's first novel which was published posthumously. It really doesn't touch the greatness of his later work but it is interesting to see the beginnings of a blooming master.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“This book is such a joy to read. Capote writes with such intelligence and he can really make you feel like you know the character rather than just reading about them. It was short, exciting, and very worth it! The ending was odd though. I'm not sure I really "got it".”

“It may look awkward to read this book before any else of his work especially if you secretly, without knowing why, admired him, but that's what I basically did and still I liked it. and now I want to read breakfast at tiffany's.

the air of this book was, for me, so depressing yet so explorable and tender. I felt this way only once before and it was when I read the Bell Jar by Plath.”
2 of 2 members found this review helpful“This "lost" first novel that Capote never published does nothing to enhance his reputation, but it's interesting if you like Capote. Not a memorable work, otherwise. He made the right choice: "Other Voices, Other Rooms" was a much more arresting debut.”

“Nobody is more masterful with capturing the essence of an era. In my opinion, this short story has one of the all-time best endings. ”

“I'm glad this book was published...even if Truman didn't want it published. Although it could've used some polishing, I thought the story really through you into the world of a girl in 1940s (?) New York. Loved the ending...I didn't see it coming.”
