Book Reviews of Sex and the City
Book Review: OH YES BUT DID ANYONE ACTUALLY READ IT?
Summary: 5 Stars
Funny of course, entertaining. This is the modern writing. Unlikeable characters, pointless, but goofy too and funny. I like the show and I know how popular it is but I am hoping against hope that women don't REALLY TAKE IT SERIOUSLY because it is a joke. And am I the only person who noticed that the AUTHOR herself admits that MR. BIG is an AMALGAM, an imaginary friend, who CARRIE made up? This is spelled out specifically and when you watch the HBO show you can notice it because NO ONE but CARRIE ever sees Big. Somehow he is always a no show and unavailable. People get introduced to him but he never responds. That's because, silly girls, the PERFECT MAN does not exist. That's why you can never find one.
Summary of Sex and the City
Enter a world where the sometimes shocking and often hilarious mating habits of the privileged are exposed by a true insider. In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs. Meet "Carrie," the quintessential young writer looking for love in all the wrong places..."Mr. Big," the business tycoon who drifts from one relationship to another..."Samantha Jones," the fortyish, successful, "testosterone woman" who uses sex like a man...not to mention "Psycho Moms," "Bicycle Boys," "International Crazy Girls," and the rest of the New Yorkers who have inspired one of the most watched TV series of our time. You've seen them on HBO, now read the book that started it all...The "Sex and the City" columnist for the New York Observer documents the social scene of modern-day Manhattan. The reader gets an introduction to "Modelizers," the men who only have eyes for models, as well as a more common species, the "Toxic Bachelor." Reading like a society novel gone downtown and askew, Sex and the City is a comically sordid look at status and ambition and the many characters consumed by the sexual politics of the '90s.
