I enjoyed this trip to fluffville, but will taking another ruin the experience for me?

I read 4 Blondes for some unknown reason -- maybe I thought I should give Candace Bushnell a second chance just to be fair -- it was awful as well.<BR/><BR/>I never bothered with The Nanny Diaries; I don't know why, but I didn't think I would like it. I did like The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing. I'm thinking I'm with you about chick-lit as a genre. I mostly don't like it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12066257241391122732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13800465.post-18520446573786854572007-05-27T00:40:00.000-05:002007-05-27T00:40:00.000-05:00I too was disappointed by "Bridget Jones' Diary". ...I too was disappointed by "Bridget Jones' Diary". I'm pretty much over chick lit as a genre, I think. I also really dialiked "The Nanny Diaries". <BR/><BR/>As much as I absolutely *loved* the TV series, I though the book "Sex and the City" was horrendous, I think Candace Bushnell is a horrible writer and her characters completely unlikable and shallow. I attended a reading of hers when she came out with "4 Blondes" which I never bothered reading, and she seemed as shallow and unlikable as her characters. <BR/><BR/>I think the chick lit book I liked the most was "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" by Melissa Banks.Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606429468531084214noreply@blogger.com
