Lo amé.

No se que mas decir aparte de que me ha fascinado, o sea, el autor escribe genial y sus personajes son tan buenos, se puede ver la diferencia de unos con otros.

Y, Dios santo, Holly es una maravillosa personajes, con un carácter bien definido, con algo que te atrae, aunque estoy desacuerdo con uno que otro comentarios (aunque eso siento que es más por la actitud de esos años en que fue escrita), pero aun así sentí que la apreciaba y me dieron ganas de conocer alguien así jaja.

No me esperaba para nada ese ritmo en la historia, menos en una un poco corta, sin sentir que las cosas ocurrieran con precipitación, todo fue con calma, desenvolviéndose todo poco a poco.

El final fue tan nostálgico y triste pero esperanzador (bueno, así yo lo sentí).

Creo que todos como Holly hay que encontrar nuestro lugar donde sentirnos como en casa. Nuestro propio Tiffany's

Spoiler Aun tengo esperanzas de saber el nombre de ese gatito ;-;

I love the way Capote puts a sentence together. I know I’m privileged enough to be bothered, but not harmed, by the radicalized language that exists in this text in a way that allows me to be taken with the rest of it. 

The endings of each story took my breath away.

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a classic novella that has been adapted to a film that is also considered a classic.

In a way, especially when it came to the ending, the book reminded me of the Great Gatsby, as the downfall challenges the relationship of the main heroine and the narrator.

Also, it was interesting to uncover who Holly was truly and to see her through the eyes of the narrator, as he himself saw beyond her elusive mirage.

There were, of course, some parts that weren't handled that smoothly. The start, for example, was quite rocky and, at times, boring.
