Es tan malo terriblemente aburrido y absurdo que ni me voy a molestar en escribir una reseña... Es la historia de 4 mujeres ricas y famosillas y como por un motivo u otro sus vidas son un desastre. Los personajes son patéticos y la historia aburrida. No se lo recomendaría ni a mi peor enemigo.

I'm pretty sure that Candace Bushnell was drunk when she wrote this.

I liked it! I thought it was a well written satirical look into New York's high society. Of course they're snobby little bastards and it's hard to relate to any of the 4 blondes but, you do eventually... Even if it's just a little. You also get a fabulous glimpse into the chauvinistic male dominated society and how women make their way to the top. I like how each one rebelled against their dominant male counterparts in her own pretentious way, how they were shown as still being human beings though perhaps shallower than most. Basically, if you want to read a book that will make you feel better about yourself, read this. I honestly don't think this book warrants so many bad reviews. I flew through it, a perfect beach read

Liked this one more than the book Sex and the City.

Честно казано не знам как "Сексът и градът" става такъв хит и кой е видял потенциал при положение, че Кандис Бушнел според мен не умее да пише увлекателно...Плоски истории, без никакъв смисъл и героини, които са тотално далеч от действителността. Имах хужда от нещо за разведряване след "Американски психар", но тази книга нямаше един интересен пасаж, който да си струва. Дори и за чиклит без претенции за мен е твърде зле!

If I could give this book NO stars I would but it is not an option. I actually threw it away halfway through it. Bought it at library book sale for a quarter and that's too much money.

I was surprised I even finished this book, whenever I read something I hate I rarely ever even consider finishing it. However the "25 books per year" requirement made me. I'd like to start by saying I read this during a wiggity-wack barbeque during memorial day weekend, how I decided reading this would be better than ribs I do not know. The book is basically Sex and the City with no wit and more blondes. We follow the romantic endeavors of four middle aged New York City women who just can't find happiness! (OMGLOLZ) It's not well written and every thought documented in the minds of these "characters" seems fabricated in a way an author should not allow. This is as much as I can tell you because this book is so bad I can't even remember what the plot was. I just needed a book for my list, I still don't think reading 4 Blondes was worth it.

Cuando vi su calificación en Goodreads y los comentarios principales estaba honestamente desilucionada, conforme lo leía, sí, puedo confirmar que mucho de lo que le critican es cierto, la autora parece resaltar a cada oportunidad que tiene qué tan gorda o qué tan flaca es una mujer, si está operada, si no lo está, vangloria y romantiza la ropa de marca y gastar dinero a lo idiota.

Sin embargo, le doy 2.5 estrellas por la segunda y tercera rubia. La primera es a todas luces una neurótica y probablemente tenga TOC, me parece fascinante su forma de ver el mundo y como nunca parece estar satisfecha con lo que tiene, incluso aunque, al parecer tenga todo lo que una mujer pueda desear. La tercera mujer también debe tener algún tipo de enfermedad mental, y debo admitir que nunca entendí por qué era una princesa si tenía un origen tan humilde. Qué sé yo, tal vez me llaman la atención por el morbo de saber como piensa una persona con una enfermedad mental.

La rubia 1 y 4 están de relleno, así sin más.

Candace Bushnell, an international best-selling author, has penned a sassy tale of four blond women from Manhattan, in her book, Four Blondes that narrates the tale of four different women, independent and strong-willed, who pave their way in the jungle called life by standing strong along with the men, fashion, age, needs and fame and to claim fame, they would do anything for it.


Synopsis:

Four Blondes charts the romantic intrigues, liaisons, betrayals and victories of four modern women: a beautiful B-list model scams rent-free summerhouses in the Hamptons from her lovers until she discovers she can get a man but can't get what she wants; a high-powered magazine columnist's floundering marriage to a literary journalist is thrown into crisis when her husband's career fails to live up to her expectations; a 'Cinderella' records her descent into paranoia in her journal as she realizes she wants anybody's life except her own; an artist and an ageing 'It girl' - who fears that her time for finding a man has run out - travels to London in search of the kind of love and devotion she can't find in Manhattan.


A selfish and lazy ex-model, a career-minded and dominating journalist, a paranoid princess and an aging "IT girl"- all four had few things in common, they all belong from The Big Apple, all four are thoroughly selfish, all four are unexceptionally modern out of their times, and not to mention they are all blondies. So why read about these four feminist women? Well, my answer will be, if you are getting bored and wanna read something light, something like no-strings-attached, something that will give you a good laugh, then you may pick a copy of this book. Well, I won this book from Hachette India's giveaway along with a copy of Sex and the City. It may not disappoint you, considering the fact that you are an occasional reader, but serious readers like me, might tear apart this book with words of criticism. But I can hardly ever trash a author's hard work, hence, I'd like to give this book 3 stars, since I got it for free, and secondly, the book cover is really pretty.

I can't complain about the author's writing style, its funny, sassy and way too polished. The narrative too is quite alluring and catchy with a really fast pace. The author pens this book with her trademark style of boldness, independence and feminism. The story line is layered with lots of funny anecdotes and remarks related to sexism.

Well, I was pretty aware what I was getting myself into, before reading this book. Unfortunately, the author has projected the hard truth about 21st century women. Yes these characters might sound very vague and dumb in the beginning, but mind it, women like these characters exist everywhere in the world. Not to mention these four characters are unexceptionally flawed, some are lazy, do not want to work and wanna depend on their lover's filthy money to sustain them through the summers, or some are tremendously hard-working and egotistic about their jobs and constantly dominating their husbands and criticizing their jobs or some love to act paranoid or some is desperate to settle for less.

In short, this book is strictly not for serious readers, even though you are a serious reader who loves chick-lits with quality, but this book does not hold any quality instead, it has lots of SEX, and if you enjoy that, do grab a copy of this book for sure.

Verdict: Modern times or shameless times?? The author has marvelously featured some of the independent blond women as an object of sex or rather say, she has paraded them like S**Ts all through out the city of Manhattan and London.

En suostu antamaan tälle kirjalle yhtään tähteä, sillä a) hukkasin elämästäni kallisarvoisia tunteja lukiessani tätä, b) kirjoitustyyli on hirveä, c) naiskuva kirjassa on hirveä ja d) tämä on ehkä ällöttävin, paskin, huonoin, surkein ja turhin kirja ikinä!

I really enjoyed 3 of the 4 short stories. Light and fluffy. Like watching the classic Sex and the City.

The author is obsessed with anal sex. Specifically, cis-gender anal sex that involves the woman being suddenly “taken” by the man with no preparation (warning: consent is very loose. In the passage the causes me to delete the book, my “final straw,” a man rips his wife’s underwear off and attempts to shove his penis in her a**hole and complains that she didn’t speak to him for three days after)

The topic of anal sex has come up five times and so far, it is virtually the only time the author has referred to anatomy. It generally without pleasure for the woman.

In contrast, the sex scenes (apart from anal) are incredibly brief and usually only mentioned as a thing that happened

Life is too short to read this poor of a book.

I don’t know if this was a sophomore slump but even the writing itself lacked chops. It felt like listening to a not very bright person attempt to retell a short story they read in the New Yorker. They forgot most of the details, backtracked and jumped ahead, and then over elaborated on inane elements.
