Book Review: Breakfast At Tiffany's
Summary: 5 Stars
Almost everyone has seen or at least heard of the movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's, but how many have read the original story? This book is a classic almost fairytale type story of a girl who is struggling with her past and trying to make herself, as well as accept, an identity. Truman Capote's Breakfast At Tiffany's is an enchanting story, but is much darker than the movie version that the beautiful Audrey Hepburn graces the television screen in. Much of the slightly disturbing details were left out of the movie, keeping it light and airy and masking Holly's true role, whereas the novel holds a deeper interest, giving specific ups and downs in the life of the fairly subtley depicted call-girl, Holly Golightly. Happiness, pain, and a final finding herself ties the story together in a beautiful way. Also, at the end of the book, there is a sweet suprise, with three short stories also written by Truman Capote. Such a good read that I couldn't put it down, and finished all four stories within 24 hours.
