4.0 out of 5 stars Champagne bubble entertainment, April 18 2007
This review is from: Bergdorf Blondes: A Novel (Paperback)
I read this book, and the follow-up volume, "Debutante Divorcees" after I had read "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger.

This is the lightest, frothiest example of the Chick Lit genre, and I enjoyed it and read it in about a day and a half. My only complaint: by the time I got to the end, I never, ever wanted to read or hear the phrase "going to Rio" ever again. Note to Ms. Sykes: a couple of times is cute; by the time you've said it 20 times, it just gets damned annoying.

For anyone who hasn't read it yet, I wouldn't be put off by customers' poor reviews. It obviously isn't meant to be great literature. Just devour it like the brain candy it is, and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Witty, entertaining...a real escape, Jan 4 2008
By D. Belec (Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bergdorf Blondes: A Novel (Paperback)
I'm stunned at the bad reviews this novel is getting. This book grabbed me from the very first page and didn't let me put it down. It's witty, entertaining, a true escape into the troubled lives of the super rich and spoiled. I will concede to one flaw, and that's the lack of character development. Otherwise, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a terrible read, Aug 10 2005
By Unsatisfied Reader (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bergdorf Blondes: A Novel (Paperback)
This has got to be one of the worst books I've read in a long time. There is no character development whatsoever and the main character is incredibly shallow. My advice is to stay far, far away from this book. I recommend reading Something Borrowed and Something Blue, both by Emily Giffin.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising negative reviews
I was shocked to see the low rating on this book? When I picked it up I had not consulted any ratings in any sources (and I'm now grateful!), and I was pleasantly amused. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Disoriented...
Try as I might - I couldn't finish this book. The writing was so focused on being hip - it was unreadable. For the best chick lit read THE BIG LOVE.
