Summary: Okay
Review: Being a fan of Candace Bushnell's "Sex and the City" I thought that I would give this book a try. I have to say, I am somewhat disappointed.The first story "Nice 'n' Easy" was okay. About Janey Wilcox a girl whom every summer has sex with a guy so she can stay in his house in the Hamptons, but in the end is able to afford her own home in the Hamptons. The rest of the stories I did not like. Candace Bushnell has writing talent, but some of her characters are uninteresting and snobby. If you must read this book borrow it from a friend, don't buy it. It's definitely not worth the money. "Sex and the City" is much better than this book.

Summary: Not What I Expected
Review: I was expecting "Sex and the City" and got nothing of that. I was expecting the tale of 4 friends, not 4 separate people who's lives are linked together by 1 man or another. I would have expected Bushnell to have a more witty, humorous take in this book. While I didn't expect a happy ending for each woman, I at least thought there would be a positive message. Instead it was wrought with the vanity of 4 women who can't seem to deal with the lives they made for themselves. I was really dissapointed.

Summary: Sex and the City - but easier to follow
Review: As a huge fan of the HBO television show, Sex and the City, I instantly plunged into the sea of books at my local B&N to get a new copy of Candace Bushnell's latest book - 4 Blondes. Having read Sex and the City - and finding it not only difficult to follow, but difficult to relate to, 4 Blondes was a breath of fresh air. In a nut shell, it's four completely different novellas crammed into one book. The first two sections (Nice n' Easy and Highlights-for adults), I felt, were wonderfully entertaining and only wrieked of Bushnell's style. However, the third (Platinum) and fourth (Single Process) sections could have used some work... they lacked her usual flare and wit. Not saying they weren't well written, they simply were not as entertaining as the first half. All in all, I would recommend this book to friends (my copy is currently being lent out) and anyone else willing to take a break from life for a few hours.

Summary: Loved It
Review: I disagree with the reviews here. I absolutly loved this book. Sometimes its different to look into the lives of not so nice people. The real world isnt about nice people. So I enjoyed it alot.

Summary: Don't bother
Review: I am an avid reader and a fan of Sex and the City but this book was a big disappointment. Don't waste your money or time on this one. If the author had not been involved with the popular tv show, I don't think this book would have even gotten a second look from book publishers.

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: I read this book only because I was a huge fan of "Sex and the City". What a disappointment - it's nowhere near as good as the series. What looks very good visually on screen (Fendi bags, designer shoes) just ends up being an exercise in name dropping in the book - and ends up being exceedingly boring by the end of it all. To top it off, the main characters come across as heartless and cold. Skip this one - there are much better things to spend your money on.

Summary: Unfunny, uninteresting, unworthy
Review: This book is just dreadful. There's not even much one can say about it - it's kind of like a big black hole. Bad characters, bad stories, bad writing. There was literally nothing I liked about this book. As the title implies, the four protagonists are four blonde women, each of whom stars in her own stand-alone story. There's a model who sleeps with men so she can summer in their homes the hamptons, a self-absorbed writer, an insane princess, and another, desperate, writer. All of the women share one trait - a complete lack of any redeeming qualities. I think we're supposed to care about they ways these women are miserable, or at least be amused by their preoccupation with money, stauts and sex, but the author gives us absolutely no reason to. The stories themselves are insipid, and each ends on an oddly jarring note - are we supposed to be happy for each woman as she experiences a (kind-of) triumph? Plus, the author seems to be preoccupied with a particular sex act, which figures (inexplicably) in some way in each of the stories. If you're interested in the dirty stories of the rich and different, read The Nanny Diaries. But don't bother with 4 Blondes. It's not worth the time.

Summary: Less than One Star
Review: Sorry, but this book does not even warrant a One Star rating. It was a big waste of my money and my time, and reading is one of my favorite pastimes. Not only does everything jump around, but the author's constant use of parentheses and/or all capitals to make a point, really really made it hard to concentrate on the story (if you could call it a STORY) LOL.

Summary: Insulting to Women everywhere.
Review: Bushnell's "4 Blondes" is an insulting look at women in high-society New York, portrayed as souless, careless prostitutes whose only cares are money, sex, and looks. I think this book lowered my IQ - I know where I am going to store my copy.... in the trash where it belongs. If you want to read about rich and famous women, pick up a Vogue, at least they haven't lost thier self-respect
