Review (PDF) Sex And The City: Kiss And Tell
After six wildly successful and critically acclaimed season, HBO's Sex and the City lowered its curtain with an extraordinary finale befitting its remarkable run. Now Sex and the City, the first true comedy about sex and love from a female point of view (and the show that made cosmopolitans and designer shoes part of every single woman's night out), lives on in this luscious, uniquely entertaining, and one-of-a-kind book. Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell, the official companion book, celebrates the show with behind-the-scenes stories on all six seasons and original interview with each of the primary actors. Ever wonder which designer made that outrageous outfit of Carrie's? What real-life stories inspired those shocking episodes? How many dates the fabulous foursome have really been on? Packed with over 750 full-color photographs, this stunning volume will answer all these questions and more with information not available anywhere eels. Topped off with a introduction by Sarah Jessica Parker, Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell will excite anyone who has experienced even the slightest flirtation with the sexiest, funniest show on television.

As a huge SATC fan, I couldn't wait to get into this book. However, the more I read, the more I felt cheated. I'm not sure Amy Sohn has even watched the episodes more than once, and if you are going to write a guide to a popular show, you should be at least as familiar with the characters as its fans. What I find most annoying is the inaccurate and glib writing of the book. The women characters are summarized using broad, vague descriptions of their personalities (Samantha as wild and sexy, Miranda as stern and cynical, etc.)that you would find in a basic overview of the series--not in a supposedly in-depth book. All of the characters' personalities had depth, even from season one. Carrie is described in glowing words as "the best friend every girl wants and the girlfriend of every guy's dreams." Well, only if the guy wants a cheater (because, remember, she cheated on Aidan) and although Carrie would be fun to hang out with, I would rather have Miranda as a close friend. Carrie is often self-involved and oblivious to her friends' needs, whereas Miranda often listens to Carrie babble on and on about her problems even if she is she short on sleep, has a mother dying in the hospital, or is nauseous from morning-sickness. Big is romanticized as worldly, sophisticated, and driven. Which he was. But he was also emotionally distant, selfish, and a jerk. I'm really annoyed by the misrepresentations of the characters and some of the events in the series. Here are two things Sohn wrote that are especially galling (and outright wrong): 1. In the Big character description, Sohn writes that "...time and time again, Big was there for her when she needed him most--when she felt lonely, was strapped for money, or when everybody else let her down." I'd like some examples of that.
