3.5

3 stars for Breakfast at Tiffany‘s itself but 3.5 because I liked the other stories included in this edition, especially “A Diamond Guitar”. I actually don’t see the value Breakfast at Tiffany’s has for readers today except your interested in Truman Capote’s works in general. The society and people depicted in this are all quite disgusting, very naturally racist and white supremacy also isn't anything other than some quirky character trait  in here. I of course see how racism at that time was much more widely accepted than today and can differentiate, but because in Breakfast at Tiffany’s I don’t see any other aspect than the writing style (which is good but also doesn’t blow your mind) for which this story would be worth reading, I am a little disappointed after finishing it and expected a bit more since this story is made out to be so iconic.

Of its time, outdated, wouldn't read again, homophobic and racial slurs aplenty. Extra stories were very strange. I liked the idea that a stranger can become any type of person that you need them to become

4.25

(I'm editing my score from 3.75 to a 4.25. After thinking about it a little bit more and learning more about Truman Capote, I actually appreciate Breakfast at Tiffany's more... and have become more iffy regarding the movie)
