This collection of the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's and 3 short stories consist of the writing style typical of mid 20th century American literature. Much focus is given to setting the scene, and there is a fondness for showcasing unlikable characters without giving the reader any mind-changing insight into what makes them tick. It's not an unpleasant read, but it misses the mark. Thankfully, the movie version of Breakfast at Tiffany's hits this mark. I believe that's the first time I've ever liked the movie version better than the original book.
