Truman Capote "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

I am hugely fascinated by the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" that is why I have decided to read a book. I can't say that I was very disappointed but I haven't found real connection with my favorite movie.

Firstly this role was written for Merilyn Monroe, which were too different character, compare with adorable Audrey Hepburn.

Secondly book doesn't really have a storyline, it is more like incomplete memories about relations in between Holly and Paul.

Third and the most disappointing for me that the book has totally different final. It is not that romantic happy end from the movie with rain, taxi and the cat. In the book Holly just left New York, to look for her happiness somewhere far away in Brazil.

I think script writers has done amazing job to make from medium standard story such a magnificent movie. And definitely without Audrey Hepburn this movie will not be the one, which millions of people love with all their hearts.

"Evening in Byzantium" by Irwin Shaw

It is a story about Hollywood producer. All his life was penetrated with glory and success and at some point his just seemed fail. What make people who are surrounded by people who love them, people who admire them just stop to move. His last try, after few years of silence was his own work, his own play. But as always life made its own decision, his health cheated on him. He left all alone, his work gone to other people, his women went to other men, his children started their own life. And he just decided not to fight anymore for his life, author doesn't show us his death but we understand that this this will not take long time. This story, and time which described in it, has a lot of similar things with Fitzgerald's novels and especially with Great Gatsby.
