Book Reviews of One Fifth Avenue
Book Review: Finished it happily
Summary: 5 Stars
First book in my life outside of high school, under grad, and grad school that I finished completely through. Point made.Book Review: Fun Read only.....Chick Lit at Its Best
Summary: 3 Stars
Great literature, it is not but if you want a fun read that is enticing, you will love this book. Candace Bushnell is a good writer, her characters are well developed and very much in sync with current day New York; real estate is the new currency, blogs, face book, hedge fund managers ruling the financial world, celebrity mags etc. She once again has captured the Kool-Aid of our time and used the backdrop of a fashionable, NY buildng as her playground. I devoured this book in 3 days but borrow it from a friend or wait for the paperback. I do however remember the days when a drink at One Fifth Avenue was all the rage.Book Review: Good, not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I was looking for a book that would be easy reading, but not too trite. One Fifth got half of it right -- easy to read, but too predictable. A little more imagination would have been appreciated...Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yet another great book from Candace Bushnell. The entire story makes you want more, even after the end comes. Sexy, smart, and very relevant with todays trends and problems. Candace has a way of looking into her characters and making them come alive.
If you have like sex in the city or lipstick jungle, then you will love this one.
Book Review: Great Read ! Recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
Great read following the inhabitants of "new york society" institution that is the One Fifth building. All looking for money, power and status, from Lola the gold digger, to Mindy the tight and bad tempered career woman, Schiffer the actress on a come back to Enid the old fashioned gossip columnist, there is something for everyone... Fun read, well written. Recommended.
