I am a 32 year old career woman from Istanbul,Turkey. When the TV series started in Turkey about 3 months ago me, my hubby and colleagues in the office were hooked on it. Just because it is fun! The book is certainly not a literary masterpiece. But who says that everything we read has to be quality literary ? We need some fun and relaxation in our everyday stressfull life and this is exactly the right book to read. Coming from a different culture the most interesting thing for me was that career women are more or less the same everywhere in the world. We love designer shopping, beauty products, fitness studios, we love lunching with our girlfriends (although in Turkey we do not talk about personal sex experiences as open as Carrie and her friends do), and of course all single women love dating. The most interesting part for me is that except Samantha all women be them in Manhattan or in Istanbul we are looking for " THAT GUY" and can do quite silly things to keep him.

Regardless where we live and which culture we come from , education and travel globalizes us it is a matter of personality that makes us different from each other like Carrie, Sam, Charlotte and Miranda. The book is great fun, I recommend it to every woman who is interested in Manhattans single - strong career womans' life and reads magazines such as Elle, Cosmo and Marie Claire regularly. Certain things are so true, such as men dating models. Ms. Bushnell gave a great insight about true dating vs. sex rules of the world, which mostpeople are just shy to talk about.

Congratulations, I am looking forward to read THE FOUR BLONDES.

'Sex and the City' is fun to read and entertaining. The characters' lives are so outrageous that your life seems dull and predictable in comparison. I love the topics: the toxic bachelors; the guys who date models; threesomes; and the four city girls, including "Carrie", visiting married women in Conneticut and enjoying themselves, to their surprise.

The book is mainly focused on Carrie and her boyfriend, "Mr. Big." I love the HBO series based on this book, but the book tells us a different story of love and dating in New York. The book is as fun and as outrageous as the HBO series. A fun read!

Look. Seriously, now. If you like the show or the book even a little bit, you realllllly need to investigate books by Cynthia Heimel. Heimel was the original and she remains the best. She's smarter and funnier and a thousand times more interesting than Candace Bushnell or Carrie Bradshaw. Heimel is a little grittier than SATC. She's weak for shoes and designer clothes but she lives strictly in the real world. Please, please PLEASE read "Sex Tip For Girls" or "But Enough About You" or "If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet" if you want to see what Candace Bushnell is DESPERATELY TRYING to do! Try Heimel once. You'll never read Bushnell again. You're welcome!
