A review by julesnymoo
A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote

2.0

Was watching a youtube about some old but goodie classics and one of them was Truman Capote's collection of short stories. Instead of getting the collection, I wanted to read, at least, one work. Heard this tops "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood" so I read it.

It didn't. (disclaimer: I have not yet read either of those novels but I'm fairly certain it doesn't top them)

It wasn't bad, no. Wasn't anything remarkable. It was a simple cute story about a little kid being friends with an older sixty-something years old woman with a mental disability. I felt the description of foods, and material objects were over the top. The dialogue, on the other hand, was neat.
