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

"I'm a huge fan of the show, but this book wasn't well written."
— KellyBaker (2/5)
Couldn't Get Into It
"I loved the show, even the movies were ok. So I thought I would enjoy the book. I was wrong. It was nothing like the 4 girlfriends having fun feel of the show. It was hard to follow and fell flat."
— Laura E. (1/5)
A different 'Sex and the City'
"Bushnell's book is interesting on its own but its fundamental differences with the series might shock the readers who are attached to the HBO show. One of the only instances in which I've found an adaptation more enjoyable then the original book."
— Camille (3/5)
A very different take.
"Bushnell writes an interesting collection of stories but very different from what fans of the HBO series might have expected. One of the few times I've found an movie/film adaptation to be better then the original book."
— Camille (3/5)
Meh! Series is better
"Having watch the tv show I gave this book a go, but I was not that impressed."
— Lucy (2/5)
A Really Bizarre Collection
"This book is a really bizarre, disconnected collection of essays by Candace Bushnell, which inspired the show SEX AND THE CITY. Needless the say, the show is much, much better."
— Brianne (2/5)
I like it
"The tv series and the book are very different. If you haven't seen tv show, read the book first. It is a good read."
— Linda Q. (3/5)
