Breakfast at Tiffany's

I must admit the absolute ONLY reason I even picked up this book is because I am such a fan of Audrey Hepburn. Sadly, the book is no better than the film.
Truman Capote is probably the good writer he is touted to be. However, I lacked drawing any real value from reading his novel. Yes, I'm a bit prudish and perhaps prejudiced against a woman who lives the way Holly Golightly has chosen to do. Yes, I was taken aback by some of the conversations and terms she used. I also understand that these are part of her character and gives that "fashion" of a woman who feels confident yet fits in a bit awkwardly into society.
There's another novel by Capote that is on my reading list, but I sincerely hope for more redeeming reading than Breakfast at Tiffany's.
