This
is a great short novel about the story of Holly Golightly’s eccentric
personality. Holly is in her early 20’s and we see her live life as if
the world will end tomorrow. She dates older men, drinks, has sex
whenever she pleases, shop lifts, rides horses in central park, and all that
good stuff. However, we all see it catch up to her and it leaves her
soul lost. This is a great escape story for anyone that yearns to be
single, and somewhat intoxicated again. Interesting fact: Truman Capote
actually wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly for the movie
adaptation. It would have been interesting to watch how that would have
turned out!
