Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

After watching the film dozens of times, I finally got around to reading the novella. It's very short, and can easily devoured in one sitting.

I can safely say that if the fillmmakers were more faithful to the novella, Marilyn Monroe would be more apt for the role of Holly Golightly.

Holly Golightly is a secretly sad character. She is seemingly naive, sensuous, carefree, charming, and self-absorbed. The narrator, whatever his name is, knows this, and knows better than to get all hung up on her.

Thank you, Paramount Studios, for trying to make this a love story, because Truma Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's is most definitely not.
