Sex and the city

So, I read Carrie's Diaries full of compliments about Candace Bushnell's writing.

And when I was in Asda's the other day, they had a buy-two-for-£5 thing and Sex and the City was in it.

So of course I got it.

And I finished reading it this morning.

It's a completely different format to what I thought it would be. The start is examples of different situations, using 'aliases' to cover identities, and slowly Carrie's story with Mr Big materialises through these different scenarios. The end of the book is much different to the end of the film. But I think the take on love in the book is also different to the series.

But it was still good. I can see how they managed to turn it into both a series and two films, even if things were re-written for current events/to minimalise main cast.

And now I'm onto my new Scarlett Thomas. See you in a few days, unless I have something else of consequence to write before I finish.
