Sex and the City

De: Candace Bushnell

Narrado por: Lauren Fortgang

From a bestselling novelist, this "cultural phenomenon" is a fascinating foray into the hearts, minds, and mating habits of modern-day New Yorkers and the inspiration behind the television series (Oprah).

Enter a world where the shocking and hilarious dating rituals of the privileged are exposed by a true insider. 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–and forever changes the conversation about women, friendships, love, and sex.

Wildly funny, unexpectedly poignant, wickedly observant, Sex and the City blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through Manhattan.

"Fascinating... hilarious... welcome to the cruel planet that is Manhattan." – Los Angeles Times

"Compulsively readable." – Marie Claire

"Jane Austen with a martini."– Sunday Telegraph

Superb and funny

I don’t know why I put off reading it for so many years, having been a massive follower of the story, it was like getting an extra first season.

With all the laughs! And the fabulous Amalita.

The narration was superb. Such rhythm! The tone so close to how Candace actually talks…So much fun.

Titty milk! LOL Cracked me up. Thank you Candace + Lauren!

Sex and the City

I have listened to this a few times—after the first listen, it is a nice “in the background” listen. This version has additional chapters not in the original publication, and the narrator (Lauren Fortgang) has a passing vocal resemblance to SJP. I love the show and love this audiobook, but I have heard it is not a great book-read, so I will stick with the audio version!

not exactly what I thought

struggled to finish, thought it would be more story like, but realized that it is more of individual moments strung into a workable novel.

Not for me.

After watching the Sex and the City series I found this book disappointing and boring.

Dated and boring

Skip this if you have seen the show. I found this boring and very disjointed.
Admittedly I am a minority but got irritated after the second time the author referred to Asian people as “Oriental” and gave up. C’mon…we are people not furniture Candace!
