Breakfast at Tiffany's

While this way a very good character sketch, I didn't really feel any way about this novella. Holly slept around and had a very unrealistic view of life. However everyone has dreams, but Holly just had no sense of where she was headed in life. All she knew was she wanted to live wherever she felt was home, a place similar to how she feels when she's at Tiffany's. I guess my problem with this short story is that I couldn't connect with Holly's life nor the narrator's feeling towards Holly. I just couldn't get into the story that much, but the writing of it is wonderful and for its time it displays very risque behavior for a female in the 1940s. If not for Capote's wonderful character sketch and insight into a city and time period portraying what was acceptable and unacceptable in such a bold, sassy Holly, I probably would've gave this novella only 1 star.
