Story4 out of 5 stars 43
When Singer sewing machine tycoon Edward Clark built a luxury apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in the late 1800s, it was derisively dubbed “the Dakota” for being as far from the center of the downtown action as its namesake territory on the nation’s western frontier. Despite its remote location, the quirky German Renaissance-style castle, with its intricate façade, peculiar interior design, and gargoyle guardians peering down on Central Park, was an immediate hit, particularly among the city’s well-heeled intellectuals and artists.

A Red scare is sweeping across America, and Senator McCarthy has started a witch hunt for Communists.

Beloved author Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction with a unique love story set in the New York City theater world during the 1940s. Told from the perspective of an older woman as she looks back on her youth with both pleasure and regret (but mostly pleasure), City of Girls explores themes of female sexuality and promiscuity, as well as the idiosyncrasies of true love. In 1940, nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College, owing to her lackluster freshman-year performance.

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.

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.....

If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll enjoy this audiobook.
Don’t know if I would have felt the same way if I would’ve just read it. Cynthia Nixon does a fantastic job of reading this book and using her time on the show as a solid foundation while still make it it her own.

A chore...left a bad taste in my mouth
Without being brought to life by the amazing cast of performers in the HBO series, and the charming humor that made it a super hit, this story is nothing but a collection of vaguely amusing, gossipy snippets about despicably shallow individuals, who neither value themselves, or the state of privilege in which they exit. There is nothing heroic or even remotely admirable about this work. Loaded with cynicism, it reads like something scribbled on a public bathroom wall..a complete waste of time, I couldn't wait for it to end. Cynthia Nixon does a good job narrating.

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...

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
