Have fun reading Breakfast at Tiffany's when you have a chance. Holly Golightly is a lot darker character in the novel than the movie version. Thanks for visiting my blog.

I saw the movie version years ago and enjoyed it, but found the book version to portray Holly Golightly in a darker light than I expected it to do. I wasn't sure I liked Breakfast At Tiffany's after listening to it.... The writing and character development were good, but the book just didn't resonate with me initially. So, I gave it a less than stellar review on my blog... Now that some time has passed and I've had time to reflect on Breakfast at Tiffany's, I actually like it a lot more than I did yesterday. I'm wondering if I should now change my review of this book.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-6549231037775733702014-08-19T21:33:19.809-07:002014-08-19T21:33:19.809-07:00I'm addicted to audiobooks!!

I was impressed by Capote's writing, and I appreciated that the book is more complex and less syrupy than the film adaptation, with Holly written as a fuller, more believable (if less likable) person.<br /><br />What did you think of it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
