Four Blondes

Rating:
Summary: STUPID and SHALLOW
Review: I wouldn't recoomend this book to anyone. The whole book is shallow, the women only have sex, money, designer clothes and off the wall fantansies on their minds. This book was not worth the money or time.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: We used this book for our book club reading and we were all disappointed with the book. It started out pretty well and then it just went downhill from the first story. I couldn't even finish the 4th story. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone to read.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Based on the success of Sex in the City but never having read the book, I was expecting more of Ms. Bushnell's writing. Her characters are extremely one-dimensional and not at all believable. Her writing style is simplistic and irritating. The stories seem more like gossip stories which have gotten out of hand, perhaps developed towards someone's object of derision. It was a big waste of my time and my money. I gained nothing from reading the book.

Summary: A big let down
Review: I was hoping this book would be as humors and enjoyable as Sex and the City. Instead I got four stories about characters that were so one dimentional as the book I was reading. Each story ending leaving me feeling I was stopped in the middle of an intersection. Their was no closeure on anyone of the characters. This book is being sold mainly on the authors reputation and is not worth the money. Stick to watching "Sex and the City" on HBO. It is much more enjoyable than wasting your time on a book where the characters have no personality or life of their own. This books leaves you feeling let down and suckered into buying a book where the anticipation ends on page one.

Summary: Potato Chips
Review: Like a bag of Baked Lays. You know it's substanceless but you can't put it down...You have to love the part of the book where the main character rails against Amazon.com customers who have the NERVE to rate books...then looks up all her friends' books on Amazon and reads the readers' comments. Little details like these stick with you even after you finish the book in less time than it takes to flip through your monthly Cosmo.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: I think it is unlikely that the reviewers are giving bad reports on this book because they are jealous! It is just a tedious, shallow book.

Summary: This book is a good read!
Review: The writing is funny and sexy, and the thoughts of the women in the stories are similar to thoughts we have all had. On the one hand, you can relate to them because they are just trying to understand how to be a woman in today's society. But on the other hand, you are thanking God that you are not like them! These stories say what some of us are afraid to say out loud. That we don't know how to act as women. Should we be sexy, career women, moms, smart, ambitious, dumb?? Although the women in this book were bitchy, it was liberating to read about them and seeing how, in the end, they stayed true to themselves. No, it is not a "deep" literary work, but it is a good, juicy read that made me think.

Summary: Don't waste your money on the hardback like I did.
Review: Janey Wilcox, main character of one of the four short stories, inspires absolutely no sympathy. The only thing that interested me about her was why she was as money-hungry as she was and why she wasn't looking for love. The rest of the stories are way below my expectations as compared to Sex in the City. The story of the journalists was uninteresting and not very plausible. I skimmed the rest of them and they were similarly boring. If you must read this book, first, don't buy the hardcover, and second, don't say I didn't warn you.

Summary: ohmigod
Review: Do not let your mother read this! It is wild, raunchy and at times absolutely shocking. It was a great read--I read it on an airplane and it kept me awake and very entertained the whole cross-country trip.

But it should perhaps have a warning label on it. This book and its characters make the Sex and the City show look like a Disney program.

Summary: One word...
Review: ...vapid. I learned it at a young age, and finally I have a reason to use it. Trust me...it doesn't get much more shallow than this.
