Description

Holly Golightly is an unbelievable young woman. Her way of life and manners are not always objective. She just follows her heart and not mind. She wants some things and tomorrow she will be interested in some other feelings or ideas. Holly wants to live in wealth and luxury. She manages to reach this goal. Despite of a quite young age she can charm almost everyone who spoke to her. Her behavior can be interpreted in different ways. Someone thinks Holly is a dishonest woman. One can say there is nothing wrong in her attitude towards men. Holly's nature doesn't let her stop and settle in a certain place. Her life is one big endless journey, which corresponds to the inscription on her mailbox: "Miss Holiday Golightly. Travels".

    It’s like an out of body experience, I’m floating above a family I remember and am trying to forget but the Golden Cord won’t break and pulls me back to them, my friends and enemies and my pets. The only one happy is ‘cat’ as he sits basking in a window on a sunny day. And I tethered, forever waiting for Love to pull me back in, can’t ask for it to happen

    I enjoyed reading Breakfast at Tiffany’s! It has that will they won’t they aspect to it. It is a lovely book. The backdrop of New York is perfect for the story. I couldn’t imagine it without NYC.

  • SO much better than the movie

    Of course the movie is an American classic, but the ending is so HOLLYWOOD! The book’s ending shows that a mature talented author was the writer-not a Hollywood producer aiming to coddle the masses.

    WTH? This is NOT what it claims to be. This is out and out fraud. I’m the idiot that didn’t check between the two versions but it SAYS it’s by Truman Capote.

    It was amazing. I completely loved it in every way. I loved how different it was from the movie. As someone who has seen the movie many times I expected the book to be pretty much the same and oh my I was wrong! Low-key Holly is an awful character but I love her at the same time.

    Senseless, misguided rewrite of great literature. This is not Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Some idiot rewrote Capotes brilliant novel. They largely kept the plot but changed the rest. Why???? Is this legal to rewrite someone’s book and then sell it for money??? They’re making $2.99 every time some unwitting poor person wants to read a great book. I’m reporting this and asking for official documentation of every book in the library. You can’t sell fraudulent material.
