    I had high expectations but felt a little underwhelmed. The writing style is impressive, but the subject matter didn’t always resonate with me.

    Loved the variety in this collection! The travel sketches were a pleasant surprise, and the excerpts from ‘The Grass Harp’ were delightful.

    I found some stories were hard to connect with. Overall the book feels slightly outdated. However the writing is still excellent.

    I enjoyed the book, but not every story captured my attention. Capote’s writing is unique, even when the narratives fell short.

  6. Ketan Hari Hazra

    The collection is good, but not great. ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ is the highlight. The book has hit and misses.

    A captivating collection that showcases Capote’s range and skill as a writer. The Marilyn Monroe piece is particularly insightful.

  12. Abdul Qadir

    Capote’s writing style is something else! The book provides great insight to the lives of famous people in his orbit. Worth every penny!

    Capote’s writing is beautiful, but I didn’t connect with every story. The portraits are fascinating. Worth reading for fans of classic literature.

    A good introduction to Capote’s work, but some pieces felt stronger than others. ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ is a standout. Overall, an enjoyable read.

  15. Kaushank Verma

    Some stories were amazing, while others didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Still, Capote’s talent shines through. It’s a mixed bag.
