'Bushnell's beat is that demi-monde of nightclubs, bars, restaurants and parties where the rich come into contact with the infamous, the famous with the wannabes and the publicity-hungry with the gossip-peddlers' EVENING STANDARD Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, SEX AND THE CITY blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, columnist and social critic par excellence, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels from the Baby Doll Lounge to the Bowery Bar. An Armistead Maupin for the real world, she has the gift of assembling a huge and irresistible cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hard core of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy single women, too close to forty, who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S into the Glen Close of FATAL ATTRACTION, and are - still - looking for love.

    Could somebody explain me how did it come this book being the original basis for S.A.T.C. tv-series?

    The only thing I can think while reading it is "How boring can be life in New York, lived in this non-sense way?".

    There's not verve, no smart talking between friends, no emotions. Totall ... (continue)

    There's not verve, no smart talking between friends, no emotions. Totally useless.

    The TV series are definitely better than the book. Sorry to say that the book makes me disappointed. The contents are empty. The book is all about easy sex, sex and only sex, nothing else. After flipping few pages, I feel bored. Not interesting at all.

    Disappointed

    I am definitely a fan of the TV series, which I've probably seen a million times along with the movies. I have to say that this is probably one of the very few cases in which the screenplay is much better than the book, which is not as original as the series was.
    Even the characters are not as stro ... (continue)

    Even the characters are not as strongly defined as they are in the TV version.

    I can't believe this is the book which inspired the famous TV series of the same name.

    I can't believe this is the book which inspired the famous TV series of the same name.
    I'm a huge fan of SATC: I watched (and re-watched) all the episodes of the 6 seasons and the 2 movies too. I love Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda and I've always envied their close friendship, which has lasted for years.
    But reading this book was a bitter disappointment to me.
    Above all, there's no trace of their friendship: the characters who bear the names Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes and Samantha Jones are minor. Their lives are separeted and there's no connection among them.
    Do you remember what Samantha says in "SACT 2 - The movie"? She tells the other girls: "We made a deal ages ago, men, babies, doesn't matter; we're soul mates."
    Well, forget it!

    And Carrie. Omigod! She's so shallow! She's all about boys, booze and partying. She acts like she doesn't give a damn about anything and anyone, even about friends and Mr. Big. I can't stand her at all. As Mr. Big says in the book, she's like a cyborg or something.

    Now let's go back to TV series. It's so much better!
