Sex and the City the inspiration behind the TV series - I m writing this review as a fan of the TV series based upon this book and the film which I have seen just recently - both of which have made me laugh and cry.If like myself you are backtracking from these to this book I d be weary. The characters from the series are here, sometimes appearing more or less frequently or have been renamed.However from the way it is written I can t work out if it s a novel, a social commentary or a collection of Bushnell s newspaper columns with bits in between. The novel is a light read because if you re familiar with Sex And The City - Series 1 [1998], a lot of the dialogue and storylines will be familiar.
Dont buy this book! - I am a die-hard SATC fan, but was sorely disappointed by this book. The writing is really poor- changing tenses and narrator-prespectives at will. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte & Samantha are bit-parts in this book, they re not the central cast so if you want more of SATC, buy the dvd set or go see the movie- this book will certainly not give you what you need.
Interesting read for Sex and the City fans! - If you are expecting something identical to the TV series then you probably would be disappointed, as the show is clearly only based on it. Carrie and Big feature a lot but Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha only appear a handful of times. If anything, this book made me cringe and feel less positive about finding my Mr Right than before I picked it up! It made me glad I don t live in Manhattan! However, I still would recommend it, it is a good, light read and humorous to say the least. Just don t let it put you off men completely, I m sure there are a few decent ones out there!!!
The ultimate feel good book!! - Excellent read, feel good novel. TV series based on this novel, both excellent. A MUST READ! *****
A must if you love love the show. - The book is a must if you love the show, however... Not only are the charcters completely different, the book is written atrociously. Especially the dialogues, which read as though composed by a small child. But if your a fan of the show then the general story will keep you captivated, the simplicity of it means that it can easily be read in a day, and is light on the mind.
