Holly Golightly is generally up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She hasn't got a past. She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone, not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat. One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs.

Vai ser enviado para a Syrin em breve como Rabck senão houver candidatos a bookray.

Came in the mail today!
Thanks so much for the book, aneca, I promise to keep it moving as soon as I've read it!
:)

This is one of those books where I've heard about the story, about the chacracters, about the movie, but never had a chance to read. Well, finally I did, thanks to aneca.


"Breakfast at Tiffany's" was pretty much what I expected: it's a book clearly set in its date, which makes it a bit dated for 2005, but still worth reading. And the last scene of the story, Holly running after the cat, that's just classical.

The big surprise came with the 3 short stories also in the book, I loved them, especially the second one. It takes a lot of skill to write good short stories, and these ones are really good!

Thanks for the RABCK, aneca!

Because Holly could never stand still for long, she's now going over to Wales, as a RABCK to molekilby, to celebrate my first bookcrossing anniversary, on November 25th, 2005

Arrived in the mail today. Thanks syrin. Will be read in 2006 and then pass on.

A girl who broke hearts and influenced everyone she came in contact with. I couldn't make up my mind as to Holly's character being a total airhead or a 21st Century Woman before her time. Certainly the language and imagery was dated.

I enjoyed Capote's writing style, the way he describes characters and situations. This is especially true in one of the other stories in the book "The Diamond Guitar".

Will keep this moving as per Holly's characteristic.

As this book seems to mirror Holly's lifestyle, it's being moved on as a RABCK. I hope that ***** enjoys it.

Oh! What an absolute surprise!
I loved the film and really wanted to read the book.

Thanks very very much molekilby - you completely made my day! :)

RELEASE NOTES:

Left in the cottage for another holiday-maker to find!

Truman Capote has a magical way of describing his characters to make them come alive. This collection of stories was very good holiday reading material. Having seen the film (who hasn't?), I found it interesting to see how the title story differed - and it does, considerably! Both are masterpieces in their own ways.
Many thanks again molekilby!
