This is one of my top 5 fav. books

I love love love this book. It's bold, funny, risky and sexy. I was so sad when i was on the last chapter because that meant that it was over. I'm so reading it again!

It Says A Lot About Our Times

I just finished reading "Four Blondes". It's a fun book to read, but I think it also says a lot about our times. Some may think the book is shallow, but I don't think so at all. Whether or not it was intended to be, it's a social commentary on the times we live in. I think it's definitely more geared toward a female audience, but men might find it interesting if they are curious about the way women think. Even in this post-feminist era, women still seem to be looking for happiness in a man. Candace Bushnell's book shows us the folly in that path. The women are happier when they are independent and take care of themselves. The book is also very funny.

Natural NewYork Blond

Just like my favorite show, "Sex in the City,I loved turning the pages of this book. A comedy about independence, women, men, careers, sex, and blonds. FUN FUN FUN

What a fun book!

This book was such a "fun" read. You're not going to have any earth-shattering revealations after reading this book, and it will never make the Oprah Book Club list, but it is a great read. I only wish it had come out earlier in the summer....I would have called this the ultimate beach book. You will love to hate these characters. Blonde, beautiful, talented, rich and living nutty lives! The 4 short stories are just long enough. They leave you wanting to know "just a little more". If you like Douglas Copeland, Bret Easton Ellis, or just like watching Sex in the City, then you will enjoy this book.

Smart and funny, great follow-up to SEX AND THE CITY

Candace Bushnell has a knack for telling stories about the rich and fabulous, but her stories aren't about fake cardboard cut-outs of Barbie-like creatures. Her stories are about real people -- people with insecurities, relationship problems, and trouble at work. FOUR BLONDES is a collection of stories, each about a woman with her own set of personal and professional issues. While these women are glamorous and gorgeous, their stories sounded like things I hear from my friends. The characters' insecurities and disappointments will ring true to anyone who reads this. Perhaps more important is that these ladies are FUNNY -- and that will have you flipping pages well into the night....
