Summary: No Sex and The City
Review: 4 Blondes is a tale of - go figure - 4 blonde woman. Each story goes into some sort of detail about their crazed lives. Since four short stories were put together, none of them are really complete. Each character is depicted in a similar manner, which makes you forget which story you are in. The stories weren't funny, witty or ever too compelling. The author really missed on this one.

Summary: Not what I was expecting...
Review: If only I knew what i was getting myself into when I decided to read 4 Blondes by Candace Bushnell. I chose to read this novel with three of my friends as an outside reading requirement for a class. The four of us, being blondes, thought it would be fun to read and do a project on. I was unfamiliar with Candace Bushnell and her tv show, Sex and the City. However, this was not what I was expecting at all, and I cannot begin to express my disappointment and dislike for this book. Each girl was extremely over-dramatic and superficial. Spoiled and helpless, their world was about the size of a pinhead. They seemed unable to live life and appreciate it for what it is. Their worlds revolved around themselves, and consisted primarily of sex, drugs, and men. The book was divided into four parts: the life of each girl. They did not have anything to do with one another, and seemed completely pointless. This is not how life is. The first character introduced is Janey. Her biggest problem in life was finding a new guy each summer to sleep with and live with in the Hamptons. Janey was incredibly shallow and knew nothing of real problems. Each section, though, ended with a bit of hope for the character and their sad lives and issues. This book was easy enough to get through. Some of the stories were so pathetic they were amusing, and others were dreadfully boring. I was unable to identify or compare myself with any of the characters. I find it more interesting when I can relate to a character in a book. It makes the story more appealing and may provide new opinions and outlooks on life. I wish I had known more about this book before I got involved.

Summary: Worst book I've ever read
Review: I can only say that I've never experienced a book as bad as the movie "A Night at the Roxbury" - - but this one did it. When we went to that movie, I wanted to leave in the middle of it but my husband said no, we were here and going to endure the whole thing. That's how this book was. I kept reading thinking that it might get better, but it didn't. Then I read it because I just wanted to finish it. It was truly the worst book I've ever read.

Summary: Four Dumb Blondes
Review: This book would have to be one of the most pointless books I have ever read. It went nowhere and halfway through I questioned why I even began reading it. There are many books out there that are far superior to this, so don't waste your time

Summary: Short stories...
Review: I am not a big fan of short stories but for some reason the cover and synopsis made me want to read this book. Big mistake... I think I was expecting "Sex in the City" but got stories that ended just as they got interesting and characters that you could not relate to nor even be amused by....

Summary: Fun, quick read
Review: This book is not exactly a brilliant literary work, and I found some parts of it to be rather strange. But if you are looking for a quick, light read then I would recommend it. It took me one plane ride to finish it because of Bushnell's simple writing style. There are many parallel's to her show, "Sex and the City," which added further entertainment. Overall, I finished this book feeling like I should dye my hair blonde, begin a modeling career, and sleep with numerous wealthy men.

Summary: worst book that i have ever read
Review: Well, being a big fan of the HBO show, Sex in the City, I was very excited to read Candace Bushnell's new book 4 Blondes. However, after reading her latest creation, I was extremely disappointed. Not only were the characters extradorinarily superficial but also they were shallow and annoying. This kind of book belongs in the recycling bin. Don't waste your money or your time with this garbage.

Summary: atleast the title wasn't misleading
Review: It is apperant from the very first page that this book is a pitiful excuse to talk about sex. The only reason I continued to read this mindless drivel was to discover the point of the story to justify the authors reputability, but it never came. The story was empty, with absolutley no meaning behind the words that were written, and the writing style was inconsistent with the change of each chapter. This book is definatley not worth the money or the time.

Summary: Ups and downs
Review: This book was a good book. It had its ups and downs. One of the short stories had its slow parts, but I got threw it. It was the tale of four diffrent blondes, with four diffrent problems or habits in there life. Bushnell didn't hold anything back. She said what she wanted to say about sex and drugs. Some parts were funny some parts were sad. It leave you wondering what the charters are doing now. It almost leaves room for more information but it doesn't. It is a good light book to read.
