Sex and the City (Abridged) Audiobook

" I was very disappointed. I got 30 pages from the end and just couldn't bring myself to finish. How do you make a book about sex boring, Candace Bushnell, how? This is one of the rare works, which is actually improved my film - not slaughtered by it. Between this train wreck and the heavily sleep-inducing "Dangerous Liaisons," I don't think I'll try to read a novel written in epistolary style ever again. "Dracula" pulled off this unusual literary style, but it is a big and tasty exception. So, don't read "Sex and the City," ESPECIALLY if you love the television show. Just don't. "

" Eh. I wasn't expecting much, so it was pretty entertaining. The characters were so much more interesting and better developed on the TV show. "

" I got most of the way through this messy and narcissistic book, mostly on the power of feeling sentimental about when I used to watch the show, before deciding the book was never going to live up to the glory and glamor that the show possessed. No, the book is not good. Maybe people who have lived in NYC would relate to it more, but I thought it was far better as a show, and the book pretty much sucked. "

" i read this after having watched all the shows.....it's not that it's exactly bad, it's just that i can see how people used to the show could get upset with the book. "

" Don't read this if you're expecting it to be anything like the HBO series! You'll be very disappointed. "

" Candace Bushnell is lucky this was picked up as a show because her writing is awful. "

" I can't get through the first 10 pages. "

" Not worth reading - it's chaotic, has nearly nothing to do with the TV series and lacks warmth and intellect. "

" I have yet to read a Candace Bushnell book that is actually worthwhile. "

" Eh... so-so. The TV series was much more entertaining! "

" The TV series and movie is much better. "

" I absolutely love the HBO series Sex in the City. I watched it first before reading the book. The book was a disappointment. It's usually the other way around for me. "

" For once I have to say the shows and movie were better! "

" It should've been TV thing only. "

" it was different than I thought it would be - it wasn't a story about the 4 women - it was vignettes of different people. It did include Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte but it didn't follow how they met, their story. "

" A funny but a little depressing view of life in New York. "

" I was disappointed that the book which inspired such a humorous and sexy beloved TV series was so dark and anti-romantic. The only save was the increadble imagery. Good to read in very short segments, or not at all. "

" I was hoping it would be more intellectual than the tv show. It wasn't. "

" i find the story quite interesting "

" Not what you would expect the t.v. show to be, but i liked it. "

" The show is better than the book, but it's an easy read. "

" It's a fun read. The show is much better. Kind of shallow. "

" In some ways it's bette than the TV show. "

" didn't like this book. TV serial has totally prevailed it! "

" It had its moments, but it was nowhere near as entertaining as the TV show. "

" Enjoy the tv show but wasn't a huge fan of the book "

" This book was a huge disappointment. The women are shallow and heartless. The characters are underdeveloped- it does not compare to the series. "

" Loved the series Liked the first movie The book was ok I refuse to watch the second movie...... "

" A lot darker than the show, this book is an intriguing survey of New York Women surviving and evolving in a paternalistic society. "

" Not what you would expect the t.v. show to be, but i liked it. "

" i knew id love this as i was a big fan of the TV show, every line i read i had carries voice in my head, it was so strange. a good read to get lost in. ideal beach read. "

" I liked the show enough so I thought I would check out the inspiration. I read this book a long time ago but I remember feeling let down when I was finished. "

" Did not like this book at all "

" i find the story quite interesting "

" Pretty different from the show, but not as engrossing. Finished it in one weekend at the beach, definitely a breezy read. "

" It sure wasn't like the show! Not bad but the writing was very scattered and didn't really flow. "

" who reads this shit? it was hard to follow and the formatting was confusing. i'll just stick to watching the show when there's nothing else on tv. "

" Picked this up in the bargain bin at B&N - ok for a quick filler read but not anything that I'd rave about. I've never been a huge fan of the series - just caught a few episodes here & there. This book is just basically the same as the first few episodes of the television series. "
