 Surprisingly good June 11, 2008

If you're in the mood for solid chick-lit entertainment, then "Lipstick Jungle" is for you. This is the second book by Candace Bushnell that I've read (the other being "Sex and the City"), and it's definitely the better of the two. "Lipstick Jungle" chronicles the lives of three highly successful, 40-something women who are living the high life in New York City. The group is comprised of Victory, a fashion designer on the brink of big-time success; Nico, a magazine editor aspiring to take over her boss's job; and Wendy, a movie producer looking to add a few more Oscars to her mantle. Each woman struggles with balancing her personal and professional life, and of course there are plenty of romantic entanglements. I probably would give the book a higher rating if not for the fact that 99% of everything that happens to these women is completely unrealistic, and that the ending feels very rushed and leaves a bit to be desired. Still, I enjoyed the book. It was a quick read and it held my attention the entire time. Hopefully Bushnell's next book will be even better.
 Better then the TV Show!! April 24, 2008

I am going to be honest. I bought this book strictly because I absolutely loved the TV show based on the book. I had never read anything by Candace and I felt that since I was familiar with the story I would enjoy this book. Well the book is even better then the TV show. There is more development and there are more concepts that were not addressed in the TV show. Overall this was a great book and I am definitely now a Candace Bushnell fan. If you enjoyed the TV show then you will definitely enjoy this. If you have never seen the TV show then you will still enjoy this book.
Better than the show April 5, 2008

I purchased this to compare it to the tv show. Its not exactly the same but its still a great read.
Her best work indeed March 31, 2008
George Sands (Albuquerque, NM USA)
I couldn't read "4 Blondes". The characters did not make me want to finish the book but LIPSTICK JUNGLE is excellent. THis is her best work yet. She went down to the bone on creating these women. Excellent work. I was going to order "Trading Up" until I saw it was about that whatever girl Janey. I am glad that Ms. Bushnell has matured in giving women what women want. Smart, realistic women. I would like to see her write though about women who are not at the top of the food chain. There were those of us who were born 10 years too early who clearly were pioneers in the work force. Just watch MAD MEN and you can see what women were up against in the 70s. I loved Ms. Bushnell's description of 1970s New York. She nailed alot of things in this book and I can't wait for more. LIPSTICK JUNGLE is akin to SATC in that I cared about the well-flushed characters. Give us more of these women please!
I liked it! February 18, 2008

I have enjoyed the first two episodes of this show on TV, so I decided to read the book. I loved the characters and had a hard time putting it down. I wanted it to never end. Loved IT!
