Publisher's Summary
In essays drawn from her witty and sometimes brutally candid column in the New York Observer, Candace Bushnell introduces us to the young and beautiful who travel in packs from parties to bars to clubs.
Meet "Carrie", the quintessential young writer looking for love in all the wrong places; "Mr. Big", the business tycoon who drifts from one relationship to another; "Samantha Jones", the 40-ish, successful, "testosterone woman" who uses sex like a man; not to mention "Psycho Moms", "Bicycle Boys", "International Crazy Girls", and the rest of the New Yorkers who inspired one of the most watched TV series of our time. You've seen them on HBO, now listen to the book that started it all.
If you're a big fan of the TV series, you won't want to miss the Sex and the City Writers' Special from Un-Cabaret.

I like well written mysteries and suspense and I love 19th and 20th century classical literature as well as modern fiction. My favorite author is Philip Roth but I also love Trollope, Hardy, Jonathan Franzen, Jane Austen and Edith Wharton. My favorite biographer is Robert Caro.

"Loved the TV show, great narrator, unbearable book"
I was a big fan of "Sex in the City" on HBO, Cynthia Nixon is a GREAT narrator and enticed me to listen to this awful book much longer than I would have for any other narrator, but this book was SO AWFUL I COULD NOT ENDURE IT....and I am a HUGE audiobook fan.....JUST AWFUL.
I can see the seeds of what became a great TV show (and I am not a big TV watcher) but I admire the writers and actors of the HBO production about a million times more now that I know what they had to work with originally.....6 of 7 people found this review helpful -

"Sex and the City"
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?Not sure
What was most disappointing about Candace Bushnell’s story?I was disapointed that this book neither follows the "Carrie Dairies" series nor the television show. It was hard to follow because the charecters were different...Sammatha Jones was a "Urban Legend" not a friend of Carrie's, as she is in both the "Carrie Dairies" and the television show. Carrie was one of the four friends but all the others were different, I was just really dissapointed because I had loved the show and enjoyed the "Carrie Dairies" seeing how it all began, this book had very little to do with either story making this book hard to follow and I swear it went on and on and on...as I waited for the connection.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Cynthia Nixon?Not sure
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Disappointment and an aching in my wallet where the money I paid for that used to be...

"Didn't hold my attention"
I love the show, and some of this was good, but I think Dan Savage's free podcast is way more interesting and covers a lot of the same ground.

"i enjoyed this book."
i enjoyed this book and while i didn't think it was for everyone, i thought it was an intelligent look at how the women portrayed in this book were actually representatives of myself and other women i know.
