Sex and the City

By: Candace Bushnell

Narrated by: Cynthia Nixon

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

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.

Loved it like the show…

Cynthia Nixon deserved more recognition for this performance. I liked the story a lot and will be striving to listen to more by Ms. Bushnell.

Liked it, but didn’t love it.

I think that Cynthia Nixon was the best part of the Audiobook. I think I was hoping for a little more meat to the story.

not quite as good as the series

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

your had to search to find the people you liked in the tv series, but was good

Do you think Sex and the City needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no

Not what I expected

The narration was good and a familiar voice from the series was pleasant to hear. However, I was expecting it to be closer to the series - it wasn't. I didn't find it very exciting or engaging. Perhaps if I heard this without seeing the series first, I may have had a different review.
