Summary: A waste of time.
Review: This book was honestly awful. There was no plot, and the characters are un-realistic and un-interesting. I couldn't even bring myself to finish this book, and I HATE not finishing a book. Don't waste your money on this one!

Summary: Not hilarious- but worth the read.
Review: While this book is not the fun-fest promised by the professional reviews, I think there is some merit to be found inside the covers. The women in these stories are not like any of us, this much is true. They are all rich and/or famous. However, there are parts of all of us in these women; insecurity, anxiety, ambition, even lust and love. I did not laugh at any of these womens' lives, but I did empathize... at least in part.

Summary: Depressing!
Review: It's difficult to rate this book. It's well-written with clearly defined characters and it flows. However, it's a real downer to read. The characters have terrible, depressing lives. If you read for entertainment, take a pass on this book.

Summary: Just the highlights
Review: I was excited to read this book as a huge fan of "Sex and the City", and I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but a random episode of "Sex and the City" proves to be more thought provoking. The four stories all seem to end abruptly as though even the author had no idea what to do with these troubled women. The first story starts the book off to a great beginning, but the second story is simply awful!!! It goes nowhere and the characters are despicable and it is written in an irritating fashion none of the other stories shares. The third story is my favorite; it does not apologize for its respective blonde or for her actions. A guilty pleasure. And the fourth is a cute, 30 minute read that I couldn't help wanting to be stretched out in length and replacing the second. A breezy read that will not have you thinking much afterwards.

Summary: Funny and Entertaining
Review: I first found out about Four Blondes while watching a television show about The Hamptons. I happened to be at the library a few days later and I saw this book and the shelf of new releases. Once I checked out the book I started reading it immediately. The book was very funny and entertainging. But there were certain parts of the book a bit too raunchy for myself, I am only [12] years old. However, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's isn't the kind of book where you have to read into everything the author writes or have to interpret it. Although the book seems to revolve around sex, it also tells about the relationships of four women. It may not be a book where you can relate yourself to the characters, but you will certainly laugh at all the idiosyncrisies and mannerisms of the characters in the book. Yes, I would definitely reccomend this book, especially for a summer vacation. It is much more interesting than Patriots by A.J. Langguth which I must read for Advanced Placement U.S. History next year.....

Summary: The point?
Review: I am often game for light entertaining books. This however, was neither. The characters are impossible to relate to. Overall, there is simply no real plot to this book. I was very disappointed.

Summary: A good Laugh!
Review: This book, in my opinion, provides for an entertaining read that will keep one anxious to keep on reading and find out more about the complex characters at the axis of the book. Althogough the charachters are shallow at times and often very repulsive, they are interesting, and in my opinion, a book should not be judged on weather it's characters are appealing (as other people on amazon did). Bottom lin- this is a funny book with sad charachter and if they are so ugly to you that it makes you dpresses, just try to laugh at them and maybe then you can enjoy this great book!

Summary: Vile, Guilty Pleasure
Review: A friend handed me this book. It was like someone handing you a box of oreos. I felt like one of Candace Bushnell's characters as I continued reading this -- like I really should run into the bathroom and shove my fingers down my throat so I could throw up.Are these women supposed to be interesting? One is more despicable than the next. Edgy? How about vulgar and trampy (...). The writing style made it very readable but the characters were incredibly gross (...) -- just like Sex and the City.

Summary: Dear lord, can it BE any drearier?
Review: Why is it that Bushnell's characters are inevitably and mind-numbingly devoid of any warmth, kindness or likeability? I didn't take to ANY of these (horrible, vitriolic) women; they were all shallow and vain and self absorbed and NOTHING AT ALL like my fabulous self. (A wee joke.) Who wants to read about thoroughly flaky women with completely skewed perspectives on life? Ugh. I'd rather watch paint dry. This was excruciating and I actually found myself angry and annoyed while reading it. Who needs the aggravation? Kbye.
