Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories (Modern Library)
by Truman Capote
i read this book last spring or summer and i had never seen the movie before. i just saw it a couple of months ago. i liked it, but it was hard to see them as the same story. but audrey hepburn is very true to capotes' holly golightly. i liked that about it. but the man in the movie was too all american clean cut, i thought. but that was popular then.
Yeah, I think I like the book better than the movie actually. The man in the movie is not what I pictured in the book at all ... I saw the man telling the story more as Capote ... eccentric, literary, and gay ... only quiet. But Audrey Hepburn was a very good Holly!

I loved reading this so much that I wish I had written it! I think pretty much everyone I know has seen the movie, which is slightly tamer, with a happy ending ... the book is very open about sex, including homosexuality, booze and drugs, and real life in general. It seems ahead of its time in many ways, but it's exactly what I expected from Capote ... he did good! I think I actually like the ending in the book better than in the movie ... it's real, more like Holly Golightly. If you haven't read it yet, you need to!
