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.

Too short to feel invested in the characters but still felt like it dragged

Bogen inkluderede også House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar og A Christmas Memory. Breakfast at Tiffany's (4 stjerner) og A Christmas Memory (4.5) var de absolut bedste i samlingen.
