This was my first foray with Truman Capote, I sincerely hope this story is not representative of his work as a whole. I found Breakfast at Tiffany's a complete waste of time. 
 Holly Golightly has to be the most shallow and impulsive character ever dreamed up. She cares nothing for those around her and therefore I don't understand the attraction, nor the loyalty she seems to inspire from some of the men (Fred, Joe Bell, and Doc Golightly) caught in her wake. For so many of the other people that she crosses paths with, they use her to the same extent that she uses them.
