Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote (1993, Paperback, Reprint)

Truman Capote's writing is succinct and to the point, perfecting the editing of his own writing. The main story is emotive and captivating, but the short stories afterward are as good as they are varied. I have only three more books to read by Capote and I will be sad to have exhausted his body of work.

I watched the "Capote" movie that basically tells how he wrote the book "In Cold Blood". At the end, they told how Truman was never quite the same after the experience...so much so that he never wrote again.
This inspired me to do a study on the man. I decided to read one of his earlier books "Breakfast at Tiffanys" followed by his last book "In Cold Blood".
I found them both on eBay.
Breakfast at Tiffany's was well written but a rather trite topic by today's standards. It was, however, the perfect read to study Capote's transition from one realm to the next.

I bought this to revisite Brealfast At Tiffany's.. Loved the other short stories too. I got so hooked tat I ordered all of his charming, yet dark short stories.

One of the most enduring novel in modern English literature, this book is an incredible read. Capote, in stark contrast the horror and realism of "In Cold Blood" paints such a beautiful and evocating image of Holly Golightly that this book is bound to become a masterpiece in years to come.

The book I bought was listed as either good or like new. I can't exactly remember which but when I received it, there was a large tear on the front cover which was put back together using masking tape.

My favorite book of all time. i think i have read it at least 50 times. its crazy/whacky romance. Truman capote was a brilliant writer and i love his style. you have to read the book to understand. im sure many people have seen the movie and never read the book. the book is worth reading. i love the movie just the same and i believe audrey hepburn did a wonderful job as holly golightly. but they are a little different. i recommend this book to anyone who belives that all types of love are possible no matter who you are. for any free-spirit as well. i think that everyone should read this.

Wanted to read the book because I love the movie. I found it to be quite different than the movie in many ways but well worth the read. Holly is still a treasure to know. Read it and find out!!!

The book came quickly in the condition described. I needed the book for a discussion group. Thank you!
