Book Review of Lipstick Jungle

Lipstick Jungle
Lipstick Jungle
Author: Candace Bushnell
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed Pretty lame chick lit on
Helpful Score: 2


I've read A LOT of chick lit, and most of it does have a certain amount of fluff or things that are really more laughable than anything else. But therein usually lies the appeal for those times when you want a "light" read. This book, however, is a total snooze-a-thon. In keeping with Sex And The City, it portrays a bunch of women ranging from career driven singletons to socialites, all of whom have one thing in common: they're totally desperate. It's really kind of pathetic - I know that I wouldn't want to be in any of their shoes.
