This is one of those times where the show is actually better than the book.

I was really dissapointed that this book was really NOTHING like the series. It shouldn't even be called "Sex & The City" cause it really has no comparison to the series. I think the only things that were similar were the names used (but personalities were different) and people's sexual orientation. Also some scenerios in this book were episodes, but very different in a lot of ways. I just didn't care for this book. I am a HUGE fan of the series, but NOT this book.
I know a lot of people say they love Candace Bushnell, but if this is how she writes her other books, I won't be a fan, but will give another book of hers a try.

While Candace Bushnell's other novels were readable, I had a hard time with this one. I found it rather boring and shallow, more so than her other books.

Hilarious! Candace Bushnell almost makes you feel like a single 30-something Manhattanite!

I was surprised how loosely the show is based on the book. It definately makes the book worth while, since you don't automatically know the plot line or characters.

As a dedicated Sex in the City series fan, I found the book an enjoying, easy read.

Are people really like this? I guess living out in Wyoming and Colorado my whole life, I really have never encountered people like the ones in this book. They all seem sad to me. Oh, and forget the TV show when you read this book, there are some similar names and some of the characters are the same but even more shallow.

Good book. If you are a fan of the show you will recognize lots of it.

Oh ick. Boring, boring book. In spite of being a big fan of the HBO series of the same name, I found Bushnell's writing to be dull and uninspiring. How they ever created a funny series out of this is beyond me.

Please note: I have never watched the series or the movie. I was expecting chick lit. It's not chick lit... It's so much darker and cynical than I expected. Sure, it's New York, but I found no silver-lining. I stopped reading it about halfway through book because I just couldn't plow through it anymore, and life is too short for crappy books. It's extremely egotistical, empty and depressing. To me, anyway. I'm sure some will see it as empowering, but to me, it's all sex and money with no substance.
