I'm sorry to say that I don't think this book lived up to the hype. 
 Don't get me wrong I think that Capote writes beautiful prose and the story itself wasn't that bad. I just couldn't stand Holly Golightly. Her character was just so flighty and shallow. I couldn't relate to her and I couldn't understand other's interest in her. 
 The narrator on the other hand was a much better character. He was interesting and thoughtful and way more human than Miss Golightly. I cared significantly more about what happened to him but Capote seems to only take him to a certain level of development then stops. 
 The book was short,not much happens and the main character is annoying. Considering this is my first Capote book I was sadly disappointed.
