 Sadly, not very good October 6, 2008
Lisette
Previously (being about two third into the book) I gave this book 1 star.
Having finished it, I give it two stars.
The problem with this book is, that it takes way too long before you get to the good bit.
The characters are not very pleasant. At all.
Adriana is quite a witch with a B (not sure if I'm allowed to say the actual word here, probably not). She only cares about herself, and how beautiful she is. She can't understand why anybody in the world should get more attention then her. She lives on daddy's money, which she uses to buy the most useless things.
Leigh is very annoying. She has the perfect life, but can't manage to be happy about any part of it. She knows that, but still accepts when her boyfriend (who thinks she's madly in love with him) proposes to her.
She drags him along and I couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor guy.
Emmy just got dumped by her boyfriend of 5 years. She's devestated even though he cheated on her the whole time (and she knew all about it) and never seemed to love her anyway.
She's obsessed with having a husband and lots of babies as quick as possible.
The girls make a pact.. Emmy will sleep with a man on every continent and Adriana will secure a four karat engagement ring from a rich guy.
Emmy can't seem to lighten up a bit, and Adriana seduces a rich and famous director, though she doesn't actually care about him, and doesn't even want to get married. She just thinks that being (almost) thirty, makes you really really old.
Leigh get's to edit the latest book of literary wonder Jesse Chapman, who get's under her skin.
The book is about 300 pages, and the first 200 (at least) are all about how the girls live their lives being annoying, sellfish and really unpleasant to read about.
Finally, at about page 220 or something, things lighten up, and I actually (finally) started enjoying the book.
I can never put a book away, but if I could, I would have done so already before getting to the nice bit. Which started only after alot of sighs and falling a sleep while reading.
I don't recommend this book, purely because it takes you 3 weeks to get through the first 200 and something pages because it's so boring, but if you've already started, I suggest you read it till the end.
 not sex in the city no matter how hard it tried... October 5, 2008
Ms. S. R. Olafson (leeds, uk)
I've never read the devil wears prada but I found this one disappointing. The characters were too close to sex in the city and weren't developped enough, nor were the romances.
It is not that bad September 27, 2008
Ms. O. Ahmed
I'm not sure why this book has such bad reviews its not as good as the devil wear prada and its not anything we haven't seen many times before but it was still readable. Yes the stock characters are tedious and nothing truly shocking occured but its fine if you have a couple hours spare and do not want to tax yourself.
 a lot of fun! August 31, 2008
Daniela Malik (UK)
This book has been surprizingly nice and entertaining to read. It reads very easily and it puts a smile on your face.
 good fun book August 28, 2008
S. Gamgee (ireland)
I loved this book for the simple fact that you could just laugh and between the three girls everyone can relate to some part of them. I really enjoyed the book and read it in a few days
