This bumptious collection of Candace Bushnell's Sex and the City columns from The New York Observer provides a prime banquette seat to witness the intense and rather frightening mating rituals of the attractive, successful, over-35-and-still-unmarried set.
　　　　Those who follow Bushnell's column will be familiar with much of the material here; indeed, a fair portion of the chapters have run in The Observer in the last six months. Placed between hard covers, however, this so-called sex column takes on a different tone — it becomes a kind of serial novel that works as both a comedy of manners and a class study of the current Age of Non-Innocence.
　　　　In her search for love amidst an endless stream of lunches and cocktail parties, Bushnell paints a bleak but funny portrait of her sisters in heels as they get everything they want except for a husband and children. We follow the intrepid, hungover "reporter" from a swingers' club (where the hottest thing was the buffet table) to a male forum on threesomes; from dinner with men who bed models to a bawdy ladies' tea where a serial dater is dissected. During the last third of the book, the voice shifts from the first person to that of Carrie (aka Bushnell). As she chronicles her relationship with Mr. Big (aka cigar-chomping Vogue publisher Ron Galotti), you may begin to understand why these womens' relationships fail.
　　　　One compelling aspect of these juicy, fast-reading pieces is that they offer an insider's view of a very elite Manhattan. Sure, names have been changed and events modified (and who knows how she records those quotes), but if you're a bold-faced-name junkie, you know who she's talking about, or can at least enjoy speculating. Bushnell delivers the bad news about love in Man-hattan in an engaging "he said/she said" style ("He gave her more drugs and she gave him a blow job"), as though she were hoarsely whispering in your ear during lunch at the Royalton.
　　　　As compelling as Bushnell can be, by the midway point of Sex and the City, the book's message is painfully clear: In her New York, locating and securing a powerful husband is, sadly, a woman's ultimate accomplishment.

黑色的忧郁和灰色的寂寞
纽约桃花

如果你只看了电视剧或者电影Sex and the City，你不见得会喜欢这本书。相对比较，如果说电视剧比较客观、幽默和感性，电影比较时髦灿烂到金碧辉煌，那么这本书可以说是纽约曼哈顿单身男女感情指南，非常的黯淡，尖刻，现实，但是实用。在曼哈顿没有爱情，只有性爱，这便是这本书的主题！所以对于题目之所以叫做Sex...... (3回应)

I like the TV series much better!

Oh well, I'm a HUGE fan of the TV series. I'm so into "Manhattan's fabulous four" that I'm very disappointed to see they are nowhere to be found in the book. ......

喜欢不带声色的幽默和讽刺
真水无香~zoe(在自己的世界游刃有余。。。)

终于无聊到想起来看这本书。。。买了很久却一直尘封。。。因为是英文版所以不到冷静的时候怕看不下去。。。认真读起来却发现是如此精彩。。。电视剧在大学考雅思时代是偶训练听力和口语的教材。。。电影是一个人那天在巴黎看的。。。文字部分虽然没有电视剧那样有情节，人物也没有那么鲜明。。。可是作者的幽默和洞察力，作为女人的智慧，还有无......
