Breakfast at Tiffany's

I was suggested to read this book by one of my close friends as I had been off school for a few weeks already and was beginning to grow bored. I was instantly captivated by this book. I appreciate the theme of stability vs freedom that is displayed through the narrator and Holly- while the narrator is happy to have his first home, Holly is consumed by the idea that she constantly must escape from places and people. These two characters being put together show that they each have something to learn from each other.

I would carry around this book with me everywhere and I remember waiting for my mum after a blood test in a cafe huddled in a corner so entrenched in this book that I didn't even notice my mum arrive and sit down next to me with her coffee. I think I was so captivated by this book because I see similarities between myself and Holly- I tend to not like to get overly attached to anything, to save myself any future disappointment if anything goes wrong and I would think of myself to be quite and independent person much like Holly.

I decided to read the book before watching the movie and was very happy with my decision to do so. I found that even before seeing any parts of the movie, just from reading Breakfast at Tiffany's I was able to envisage almost exactly how the book was portrayed in the movie

Over all I would easily say that Breakfast at Tiffany''s is one of my favorite books and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
