Summary: Shallow characters, shallow writing...
Review: I know a book is bad when I can't finish it, since I almost always finish a book I start! Well, I sure didn't finish this one! These are some of the most shallow, idiotic characters I've ever come across. The plots were stupid and boring. The writing was devoid of character and seemed half finished. If women like these really exist in the New York social scene or anywhere, I feel sorry for whoever encounters them, and even more sorry for whoever must read about them!

Summary: Not your ordinary book...
Review: This is a great follow up to Sex and the City. It is different women but it's in the same great tradition, More love lives, Sex tales and general women of the day's anguish! It will have you up late reading to get to the next story. Everyone can identiy with at least one if not more or all of these women!

Summary: A tasty escape!
Review: I see this book as a contemporary masterpiece. It is told in a voice that somewhat echoes Jacqueline Susann's vivid descriptions of New York's high-speed social life in the seventies. Like Susann, Bushnell writes of people whose lives are sometimes unfathomable to some, because tucked in the routine of everyday life, characters such as these can not possibly seem to exist. Anyone disregarding this book as trash is perhaps to close-minded to see what it really is; entertainment. Lifestyles and people that are different from us are innately fascinating, and this book allows us to indulge in what most people will never experience. After reading this book you are left satisfied and also reassured that at least you have some morals. This book is not a guide for how to have a good life, it is for the sake entertainment, and allows a temporary escape from the rules of social etiquette that we must abide to.

Summary: Horrid
Review: This has to be the worst book ever written. Candance Bushnell should revamp her career choices. This is an insult to not only blondes but women everywhere.

Summary: How about calling it a WORST seller?!
Review: Gee, I can't believe that I bought this book as a birthday present for myself! I could hardly get through the first 20 pages without becoming irritated. I can't keep reading. Who wants to waste their time reading about a bunch of spoiled brats with huge egos? I should have known better. Save your money. What a waste of a trees life!

Summary: I wanted to scrape this book off the bottom of my shoe
Review: But I settled on throwing it in the trash instead, literally. Reprehensible characters and a writing style completely devoid of any imagination. How on earth did this get published? I don't know what social circles Ms. Bushnell is in, but I haven't met any woman who would prostitute herself in order to spend a summer at the Hamptons. Ms. Bushnell, you are "soooo over."

Summary: Horrible Horrible Horrible
Review: I wish Amazon.com had a 'zero stars' rating, because it doesn't even deserve one star! I can only think of one other time I have tried to read a book as bad as this. I couldn't even get past the first 10 or so pages of each chapter, the characters were so abhorent. The writing style is completely devoid of imagination. I hope Candace Bushnell is taking a gander at these reviews, maybe she'll pay attention and retire from writing. I want my money back!

Summary: For Blondes?
Review: The first story was funny and enjoyable. The second - not bad, the third story is where I stopped reading and haven't picked up since.I think she is a good writer, she is smart with a lot of wit. But, I think this book probably doesn't show case her talent like Sex in the City (which I haven't read, but probably will at some point).

Summary: Please Don't Waste Your Money
Review: I was very excited when I bought this book, as I am a huge fan of "Sex and the City", but after getting only halfway through the book I had to stop. The characters in these stories are shallow and stale caricatures of real women. They are selfish and empty, and wander through Bushnell's weak storylines without any real purpose or ultimate goal. The language Bushnell uses is too crude for my taste, and really paints a bleak portrait of life in general. Honestly, I was a little depressed after reading this book and had to wonder how anyone could go through life like these four women and the various men that inhabit their worlds. If you enjoy the strong female friendships and witty banter in "Sex and the City" then don't buy this book, it will only be a waste of your time and money.
