  <default_description>The &quot;Sex and the City&quot; columnist for the &lt;I&gt;New York Observer&lt;/I&gt; documents the social scene of modern-day Manhattan. The reader gets an introduction to &quot;Modelizers,&quot; the men who only have eyes for models, as well as a more common species, the &quot;Toxic Bachelor.&quot; Reading like a society novel gone downtown and askew, &lt;B&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/B&gt; is a comically sordid look at status and ambition and the many characters consumed by the sexual politics of the '90s.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is nothing like the show (which I adore!). I couldn't make it past 50 pages of this book: I was so bored. Candace Bushnell is so impressed with herself and that's pretty much what her books are about. There was no plot or substance to hold my interest. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think I read this right after the show first started on HBO.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was one of the first novels that I have ever had to read an overview on to get into context as I couldn't quite work out the position of the narrator thanks to my edition of the book having no blurb save for reviews of the series (which I have never liked).  After reaching about a third of...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51274408">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked this up at a rummage sale for some light pool-side reading while on vacation. Having watched and enjoyed the TV series, I was curious to see what the book was like. Bushnell's writing style took a little getting used to, but while I can't say it was a _great_ book, it was far better written...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64656734">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While I usually subscribe to the belief that the movie (HBO series in this case) will never live up to the book, here that is absolutely not the case. The close-knit female friendships that power the television series aren’t nearly as present in Candace Bushnell’s book. The novel’s Carrie is a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33915280">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Whoever gave Candace Bushnell a book deal needs to be forced to take Freshman Writing all over again. Candace Bushnell should be in a remedial course. The concepts of plot continuity, character consistency and growth, and writing generally well are lost here. I got stupider when I read this book.
