Surprising how dislikable a character can be, which I was disappointed by. I can appreciate the story itself, and the way a character is developed enough to promote such a negative reaction, which is what the star rating is given for. The story and succinct telling is captivating, however I cannot move past my innate dislike for Holly Golightly, her strange fascination with masculine gay women, her flagrant disregard for the feelings of the other characters, mocking disloyalty.
