Summary: I can hear the brain cells dying as I read this trash
Review: Ms. Bushnell should be ashamed of herself. Riding on the tail of the success of "Sex and the City", she released this piece of garbage. I picked this book up hoping to find realistic, honest, and witty banter between four blonde girls, much like the conversations from "Sex and the City". I am sorry to report that you will find nothing resembling this in "Blondes". First off, I want to say that I am outright offended by the behavior of these women, especially the first story, Janey Wilcox. Bushnell had the audacity to have Janey refer to herself as a feminist due to the fact that she openly slept with men for no other reason than to stay in a nice beach house in the Hamptons. This was the only trait this character had. She was not fleshed out anymore than that. Janey slept with rich and powerful men to get a nice house. That's it. At the end of the story, she hits success in the most contrived way. As sad as this character sounds, she is the most interesting of the four. "Sex and the City" in it's own way let the world know that yes, women have the same conversations about sex as men do, and that doing so was OK. "Sex" did not due much harm to the image of women, .... However, "Blondes" paints the four women out to be gold diggers and/or women who married/dated a man for his power and name. The word "love" is used a couple of times in this book, but Bushnell failed to convince me as a reader that any of her characters are capable of such a thing.

Summary: Horrible
Review: I just finished reading "Bridget Jones Diary" and thought that this book would be another lighthearted, amusing read. Was I ever wrong. This book was HORRIBLE!! The characters were not developed and the plot was even more superficial. I have never missed an episode of "Sex" so I never imagined that I wouldn't like this book. Don't waste your time!

Summary: Man-Hater
Review: I love men. For all their faults, they have a lot to offer a woman. This book doesn't show that men are worthy creatures at all. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE the Sex in the City TV show. I just hate the way Bushnell makes men appear to be a hinderance to women.

Summary: Sex and the City it's not
Review: I am a big fan of the show, Sex and the City, so I thought this book would be the same mix of humor, strong characters, cosmopolitian style and heart.The book was a big dissapointment. The characters were all shallow and the stories seemed pointless. The reader does not become invested in the characters at all. I would not recomend this to anyone. Meaningless fluff is suppossed to be fun and this book was not. If you are a fan of Sex and the City either read Candace Bushnell's book, Sex and the City or watch the show. Either experience would be better than wasting time to read this book.

Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: I have been watching Sex and The City since episode one and had high expectations for this book. What a disappointment! These are the worst characters ever written. I've read that Ms. Bushnell writes from her own experiences. If this is true I feel very sorry for her. What a shallow, useless life the women characters lead. These four blondes give women everywhere a bad name. I enjoy a good, fun trashy novel once in a while. If this is what you are looking for look elsewhere. The author does know how to tell a story, she just needs to go back to the drawing board and completely start over.

Summary: Shame on you Ms. Bushnell
Review: Not one likeable character in the whole book and I'm the sucker for thinking that eventually a hero (like Carrie in S&TC) would surface and would save the book. No such luck, this book was awful. What a waste of time but thankfully I didn't drop any money for it, it's on loan from the public library. Makes me wonder who Ms. Bushnell slept with to get such a thing published.

Summary: Four Dysfunctional Blondes
Review: I thought that this would be an easy, light-hearted read, but it SO was not. It was easy, but one of the most dysfunctional books I have ever read. Maybe because I don't snort cocaine, drink obsessively, or whore around I didn't really feel the book. The first and fourth stories were easier to read and laugh at some of the character's actions. The second and third stories were full of pain and hate...something I don't find fun to read about. The characters in these two stories brought out physical feelings of disgust. Not a light, easy summer read.

Summary: Terrible
Review: This is the worst book I've read in years. If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I'm even more sorry that I picked it for my book club. No one in my book club will forgive me for picking it because we all hated it. The characters in the book are sad and twisted. Don't waste your time

Summary: silly drivel
Review: I thought this would be a fun, light, summer read. But an amusing page-turner it is not. I haven't read a book in a long time that is so silly and inane. The characters are one dimensional; I don't know why it couldn't have been called "one blonde", because there is no discernible difference among them. There are no real stories, just pages and pages about nothing. I hear that "Sex and the City" is better (and love the series), but I certainly will not pay full price for it as I did for "Blondes". I can't even believe such a dumb book is selling well; guess more people should read amazon reviews (as I should have done).
