I saw the movie first, and as a result the book really was nothing like what I had expected. Much like the film versions of The Color Purple (loved the book) or The House of Mirth (hated the book), and countless other adaptations, the film version really took away something that I thought was the heart of the written story, or the point of it. Basically, the book doesn't have the same happy ending as the film. The book does not end with Holly Golightly staying in New York to shack up with a gigolo. Instead, it tells the story that you can't change someone just by loving them, and some restless spirits are never satisfied with sitting still.
