Book Review: The Bold and the Brazen....
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is largely misunderstood because many people assume (due to the HBO series) that it is fiction. It is not meant to be read as a novel; it's a collection of vignettes based on the author's own experiences as a columnist and observer of social relationships among Manhattan's glitterati. The TV series was loosely based on the idea of a columnist who would dissect the dating and mating habits of New Yorkers. While Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samanta, and even Mr Big appear in the book, they bear little resemblance to their better-known selves in the TV series...that said, this book is a look at how the idea for the series began, and scathing, honest, direct, and brutal critique of modern relationships.
Summary of Sex and the City
Bushnell, a columnist and social critic, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels on a drunken cocktail trail through New York, from the Baby Doll Lounge to the Bowery Bar. On her travels, she assembles a cast of freaks, wonders, wannabes and gossip-peddlars.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.
