Book Reviews of Sex and the City
Book Review: sincere, mean as life and insightful
Summary: 4 Stars
A smart look into the life of single women and dating.
More realistic than the tv series, with no endings where the cute and beautiful win the day. Rather, more realisticlly, meaner and brutal.
It dwells on the subtleties and richness of dating details. Good read.
Book Review: Not the Series but still entertaining
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit when I first got the book I expected something similar to the series. Even though this was not the case, I was not dissapointed. A lot of the stories made me laugh out loud to myself. I saw truths in the stories. This book and the series makes one enjoy being a girl!Book Review: sex in the cty

I enjoy books so very much and Amazom always helps me find the books I want at a great price . I truely enjoy Amazon.Book Review: An entertaining read
Summary: 3 Stars
Because I am a fan of the show, I sought out the book. I heard that the two were extremely different and often tv viewers were disappointed with Ms. Bushnell's articles. Knowing this, I gave her book a chance to be something other than the seeds by which Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha grew.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the articles. Funny, witty, and intensely perceptive with her sardonic tongue, Ms. Bushnell manages to make fun of the painful and bizarre situations that arrive in the elite New Yorker's love life. These articles make you the fly on the Ralph Lauren painted walls of the Hamptons and the Upper East Side. And I like being a fly there. Voyeuristic pursuits are met here in her words.
True though, you will not recognize Carrie who seems to be psychotic, nor will you even find Charlotte. You can, however, see the skeletal beginnings of Season 1's episodes. But these stories were all extremely entertaining on their own.
All that aside, I say find the articles on the internet or at the library. This is not life altering literature. For a frivolous read, it does its job, but I do not need to read it again.
Book Review: the book that starts a huge phenonmon
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of the televison show! I have every episode on dvd. When I found out that their was book for the show I was really excited. Each chapter pretty much has a subject regarding realationships. For example their was a chapter about threesomes. Characters would then tell what they thought about the subject. It would also have stories that would go with the subject. Some of the stories are so so funny!
Most of the book their is a big story with Carrie and Mr. Big. You really don't hear to much with Charlotte,Sam or Miranda and their stories.
If you love this show like I did, you should maybe check out the book
