Four Blondes

Rating:
Summary: A funny and quick read!
Review: If you want to read a book for it's literary quality, this book is not for you. If you want to read a book that reads the way you think (but never would admit it), than this book is it. Bushnell builds up the characters enough to make the reader hate them and ends each novella with just enough to make you pity the respective blonde. I would've liked to find out more about James' secret obsession with the anus, though. Witty and introspective into lives none of us know, or admit we know, this book is nothing more than a fun read.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: What a disappointment! I wish I'd read these other reviews before reading the book. I love Sex and the City, so I actually read the entire book in the hopes that the author would bring everything together in the end in a clever way, but she didn't. I don't identify with any of these characters! They are drug addicted prostitutes, all the male characters are total jerks ... It's a parade of horrible people that you just don't even want to get to know better.

Summary: Don't bother buying it.
Review: I started this book in an aiport bookstore and somewhat enjoyed the first story. When I arrived at my destination I bought thinking the other 3 Blondes would have interesting lives. Unfortunatley, they didn't. Don't bother reading past the first quarter of this book.

Summary: This is the WORST book I have EVER read.
Review: I am so absolutely disappointed in Candace Bushnell's book. I had purchased it at the last minute before I boarded a plane on a business trip and what a waste of [money]. The characters are self-centered and unrelatable to. There is also never resolution to the situations ( if you can call them that) the characters face. The book outline leads you to believe that they resolve the situation that they are in, but it never happens. Their major concerns in life are still sleeping around for a summer house, and going back to cheating/miserable husbands and taking drugs. The characters never develop, and the women are portrayed kind of like Allie McBeal, needy and doing anything they can to get attention while destroying the people and relationships around them. All in all, I would rather stick with the the television show. I won't even pass it on to any of my friends - this is one for the circular files and a match.

Summary: 'sex and the city' this is not
Review: I am not suggesting that everything Candace Bushnell writes should be just like 'Sex and the City,' but this book is pretty awful. I was looking forward to a juicy and witty end of summer read, and instead found myself bitterly saddened by these empty and somewhat contrived stories. The last story about a journalist writing about sex and England was the worst. I would only recommend this book to the most diehard fan.

Summary: Very Entertaining......Considering I'm a blonde!!!
Review: I thought that the book was very good. It kept my interest from beginning to end. I like how the book had different segments w/differnt characters. I thought each character was very interesting especially Princess Cecelia who thought everybody was out to get her. Her life was just so hard (yeah right) that she had to cause problems for herself.
Then there was Winnie & James Dieke also very interesting people. I could go on and on and on about the charcters in this book but you should read it for yourself to get the full effect.
Absolutely a thumbs up on this book.

Summary: Waste of Time!
Review: I expected much more from the writer of Sex and the City. This book has no real plot and horrible character development. There is nothing in any of the characters to identify with and you finish each section wondering what happened. Definitely skip this book and go watch Sex in the City!

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: This book is proof that you don't have to be a good writer with a decent story line to be published. This was an incredible waste of time and money.

Summary: no no no...
Review: I have to say I was truly disappointed with Candace Bushnell's 4 Blondes. Yes, I read it until the end to make sure it never got better and trust me, its just not worth it. The characters are such shallow and rare beings that if you don't "know these people" already, you'll never want to. What I liked least about the book is that as you read about the lives of each woman, you'd expect an ending that was clear and that made sense; expect some kind of finalization. Each of the four parts of the book was cut off before readers got a sense of how the lives of the characters would turn out. Will the characters continue cheating on their partners? Will they get divorced? Do they ever find happiness? Do they accept their lives the way they are? These are things you'd expect to learn after reading the pretty lousy tales but all the stories just end- suddenly- with little indication as to what will follow. I have shelves of books better than this one. If I had the chance, I wouldn't waste my time on it again.

Summary: The Best of the Summer
Review: I think every woman should read this because in some it will change their life. Or you have a good time laughing at all the crazy lifestyles of the four girls. Everyone should read this once. I love it and suggest everyone to read it!
