Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell

I got this book for my Birthday from the beautiful, Mel, a beauty blogger HERE.
So the book? LOVED IT! Its nothing like the movie, since this was published back in the 90's. Yes. S&C is from the 90's ladies. lol

BUT it is a lot like the episodes! Pretty random crazy stuff.




For me, 95% UNrelatable. Why?
1. I'm not rich.
2. Not from NY or even been to NY
3. I'm not in my 30's.
4. I don't sleep around.
5. I don't do drugs.
6. I rarely drink.
etc. etc.
BUT that is what I loved about this book, I have no idea what this is about so its a total adventure! lol

Every chapter is about a different subject like; lesbians, threesomes, marriage, kids, s&m, drugs, men, women, bitches, losers etc.
And each chapter has sub-chapters dealing with the same subject.
Just like in the episodes, some characters are only mentioned once, some through out.

But unlike the episodes, its not a narrative by Carrie...actually come to think i cant even think whose the narrator, but Carrie & Mr.Big are big characters later on in the book :)

I say READ IT! If you love the episodes your gong to LOVE the book! If you love the movie, you MIGHT like the book. Most Sex & the City fans know the movie was not like the show.

LMK if you read it, or are planning on :)

The Rum Diary by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

So I JUST read this book and hmm I'm not sure how I feel about it.

It is an exciting story to say the least, Paul Kemp is a journalist who has been writing in New York and Europe and has now found himself writing for the only English newspaper in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
White boy in Puerto Rico, yes it means exotic places and people for the guy.
#1 He likes to drink .... A LOT.. hints why its the RUM diary.
#2 The people he meets (other Americans) are effin crazy! Drunks, Pervs, Angry and even abusers!
#3 Apparently people who come from the good 'Ol U.S of A don't really stay to long in Puerto Rico, the natives don't care much for them or their lame newspaper, they are quiet violent toward them as well.
#4 There is quiet a lot of adventure i suppose? Its like he doesn't do much, but so much happens lol
#5 The ending = lame!!! I thought it would have been cooler if he got rich, died, or ran off w this one chic he has been digging since like page 2.

I give it 3.5 stars for making me want to know what happens next.... but the ending was a total loss, in my opinions of course.

*This will be made in to a movie w Johnny Depp playing the role of none other than Paul Kemp*
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is an amazing writer none the less, I felt like Paul Kemp was a real guy and these were truly his feelings. I could almost hear him telling me his story, and wanting to know what happens in the next chapter, and the next and the next....
I say if you find this on sale or at some used book store grab it! If your a Depp fan, read it and compare to the movie :)
