Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

This was an interesting listen.  I really enjoy the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, so when I had a chance to get the audible book for 99 cents, I jumped on it.

Aside from the characters, and a few situations, the book and movie aren't really that similar.  The point of the movie is kind of a love story and Holly finding love.  The point of the book is that sometimes there's not really a happily ever after.  

Both are good, but in reading about Truman Capote's thoughts on the film adaptation of his book, I can see why he wasn't jumping for joy over it.

Though the book is sadder, I think I liked it better.
