Description

Dive into the mating habits of privileged New Yorkers in this hilarious collection of Bushnell’s newspaper columns that inspired the hit HBO series. Sex and the City is a fantastic and sometimes terrifying foray into the hearts, minds, and mating habits of modern-day New Yorkers. Traveling in packs from lavish parties to high-end clubs, Bushnell’s vividly candid characters live out the never-ending search for the perfect relationship. Bushnell’s firsthand commentary on the behavior of the rich and famous is by turns witty and shocking, and always boldly true. In these pages you will meet “Carrie,” the young writer looking for love in all the wrong places; “Samantha Jones,” the successful proto-cougar who approaches sex just like a man; and “Mr. Big,” the captain of industry who jumps from one bed to the next. Equal parts soap opera, gossip page, sociological study, and dating manual, Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell’s former New York Observer column, has attracted a cult following and been adapted into two major motion pictures and one of the most popular TV series of our time. This is the groundbreaking work that both decoded and shaped a culture and a generation. Praise for Sex and the City “An Armistead Maupin-like canvas tinged with a liberal smattering of Judith Krantz.” —Publishers Weekly “Fascinating . . . . Hilarious . . . . Welcome to the cruel planet that is Manhattan.” —The Los Angeles Times “Bushnell is a deft writer, possessing a sly sense of humor and sharp insight into human behavior.” —People Read more

    • I Found it to Be A Seriously Interesting Read...
I seriously find all the one star ratings interesting! Seriously interesting because I really enjoyed this book. I was definitely able to separate it from the TV series and it could be because I'm a writer myself and I can read it while understanding that the adaptation wasn't a literal one--and a good screenwriter takes as much as they can from the text but in the end successfully translates the story to appeal to the audience of the visual medium. So I'm able to read the book as it is and that is a peek into the love lives of some professional and wealthy yuppies living in Manhattan. Period. And I definitely liked the writing style. To me it was a mix of journals and interviews and notes and pieces of an actual article all put together to form one entertaining story. It's like the wild wild west of writing! I love it! The book was daring and yeah, I bought it...I mean, I get the tug of war between societal mores, values and beliefs and the innate sense of independence. It can drive you crazy! And I think Candace Bushnell did an excellent job of capturing that in this book. Bravo! 5 stars for sure in my book! And believe me... I'm NOT easy to please. But you can't read this book and THINK Sex and The CIty the TV show because this Carrie Bradshaw and that Carrie Bradshaw are a number of ticks different. There's no way a studio exec would take the chance the book's CB. They have to make $$$. They have to make her "LIKABLE" for all the women who are inflicted with the Cinderella Syndrome. I mean, this CB, sniffs lines, smokes marijuana and drinks until she pukes. She has a lot of friends and sometimes Samantha Jones gets on her nerves. This book is grittier and is not a story for those who ascribe to the "THE SCRIPT." ... show more

    • Disappointed
I watched "Sex and the City" for the first time two years ago and fell in love with it. I knew the book was going to be different -- and in most cases the book is better. I somehow missed the original "Sex and the City" column in the Observer, so I had nothing to go by. However, around the same time there was another sex/dating column that ran in the New York Press by a young lady named Judy McGuire. The column was called "Date Girl." McGuire's column was hilarious and a great read! When I worked in NYC I looked forward to Tuesday evenings when new The New York Press was published and I read "Date Girl" religiously. I think I was expecting "Sex and the City" -- the book -- to be cute, fun, cool and honest like McGuire's writing always was. So I got the "Sex and the City" book a few days ago. It was a turn-pager only because I was wondering if it was ever going to get better. I didn't "get" the characters as many were dull, egotistical and needy. It was like, "yeah, whatever." Not to mention, the book was poorly edited. Grammatical mistakes practically jumped off the pages. There were some funny parts, like the "nanny camera" story, but for the most part it was boring, depressing and definitely not empowering for a woman. ... show more

    • Even if you've seen the show...read the book!
Have you ever sat in a coffee shop or your hometown's shopping mall, catching snippets of juicy conversations as they pass by you? $eXz In The City, the book, is just like that only better. In SITC, you get to listen to the snippets of the rich and famous, the ultimately wealthy, and the downright notorious; something you don't get at home. Though built upon shallow ideals, the characters are anything but shallow; they are witty, charming, self-centered, goal-orientated, and real. The storyline, though it is told in fragments not unlike a diary that many people have written in, manages to stay smooth and yet spontaneous in its wandering courses. Both the Cable Show and the book stem from a column Candace Bushnell started writing for The New York Observer back in 1994, where she decided to remove the sentimental value from relationships and mating rituals and replace it with a healthy, well needed injection of sardonic humor. Thanks to Ms. Bushnell, we have such wonderful glimpses into this taboo subject like "The M&M's", "The Modelizers", "Psycho Moms", "Bicycle Boys", "Dweebs, Nerds, and Losers", "Comparison Shopping", "The Nanny Camera", and many more. SITC is a wonderfully fun, kick-back-and-relax kind of book; a lively and fun story that reminds you not to take yourself so seriously all the time. I highly recommend it for a lazy afternoon or a sunny day at the beach. Enjoy! ... show more

    • Where It All Started
Loved the series and in a moment between books without a good book I really wanted to read I dove back to this 90s treasure that brought the series. It's really a series of columns in the newspaper and not nearly as good as the series but you can definitely see the bones of where the series cam from. Worthwhile? Only partially. Watch the reruns and you may be more fulfilled. For me I'm glad I read it but it wasn't a "Book of the Year" read. ... show more
