This book was like a train wreck, you keep looking at all the carnage hoping to see something good come out of it! The only book I have read that was worse than this was Four Blondes (also by Bushnell)... which I read before this one. I should have learned my lesson but I kept thinking "they made one of my favorite shows from this book." Candace Bushnell should kiss the feet of whomever read this book and thought anything but fire starter could come from it! I don't see why "Big" got such a bad rap in the show ... she is the alcoholic, pot head that he should have put out the door after the first date. The real "Big" is a nice looking guy and, even by the book's report, treated "Carrie" (Candace) a lot better than she deserved! I'm glad he got out for good! I really wish I wouldn't have read this book; it kind of ruined the show for me in a way. I still love the show; I'm just glad they had such great writers! Please don't buy this book under the impression you will get ANYTHING out of it!Read full review
If you liked the hbo series then you most likely won't be crazy about this book. However, if you liked the NYC newspaper articles on sex and the city you will love this book. I am a fan of both so I felt a little let down on the TV series side expecting to see some of my favorite character ramblings on the articles Carry wrote every night in an episode on tv. Unfortunately they aren't there. But from the news paper side it's some of the best journal articles there are. So be aware if you only seen the TV side don't buy this book you will get lost or become increasely confused.
I bought this book expecting to love it as much as the show..the book is always better RIGHT?! Not so in this case. I am having trouble wanting to continue reading it, which is odd for me. I also read 4 Blondes which was better. The condition of the book was excellent, I could have gifted it. I just am not into the style of writing Bushnell is using. For the price, it was worth a try!
Love the book

I was a fan of the sex in the city series on HBO and now on network television so I thought the book would be a fun read. Unfortunately the book does not follow the series. Some of the characters have the same names as the series but not the same role. It was a little "sloppy" to read and hard to follow. Recommend getting the DVDs on e-bay if you are truly a fan.
