BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S - Truman Capote (April 14/12)

This extremely meandering novel has a few decent characters - Holly Golightly, especially - but often feels a lot longer than its slight length might've indicated. There's just no plot here and Capote devotes far too many pages to the rambling of the apparently gay narrator. The inclusion of a few nifty twists - Holly got married at 14 and her "husband" has come to New York to bring her home - keeps things relatively interesting, but yeah, the whole thing is pretty underwhelming. It's a quick read, at least. **1/2 out of ****
