I thought I didn't like Truman Capote because I once tried to read In Cold Blood and HATED it.
I'm glad I didn't give up on him, because I loved this little book! There's just something about his spare prose and the way he strings words together that appeals to me. The story of Breakfast at Tiffany's is fun. The last 20 pages or so are not as fun as the rest of the story, but overall it's a great story. I liked reading about what New York City was like in the 1940's.
There are also three short stories in this book, and I enjoyed them all. The last one, "A Christmas Memory," was exceptional. It is not the slightest bit sappy or sentimental, but when I finished it, I had tears dripping off my face! Capote just has a way with words. I can't put my finger on it any better than that.
