""Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell" the official companion book, celebrates the show with behind-the-scenes stories on all six seasons and original interview with each of the primary actors. Packed with over 750 full-color photographs, complete with an introduction by Sarah Jessica Parker, it will excite anyone who has experienced even the slightest flirtation with the sexiest, funniest show on television.
The book contains interviews with the main characters; the four actresses, their leading men as well as Stanford, Anthony and Bunny among others. The interviews with the main/recurring characters (male and female) are good, although if the women could get bios, why couldn't the men? I'm sure SATC fans are also interested in that.
There is a double page spread of the guys (and the few women) who were romantic prospects for each of the leading ladies, so I guess that one's a bonus of sorts.
Reason to snap up this book? There are lots and lots of photos of outfits worn by the four ladies. This is your chance to check out the fashion details! Plus main members of the production team also get their say, and there are several action shots of the production process. Sohn covers all aspects of the show by including sections about the writers, production, post-production, making the sets, etc.
I love the character quotes: "I'm missing the bride gene. I should be put in a test tube and studied." ~ Carrie Bradshaw
"I've been dating since I was fifteen. I'm exhausted. Where is he?" ~ Charlotte York
And the numerous quandaries that Carrie faces: "What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually wojen uppit out the the apple, gotten a job and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank? I couldn't help but wonder: inside every confident, driven signle woman, is there a delicate, fragile princess just waiting to be saved?"
"Soul mate. Two little words. One big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart and to your dream house. All you have to do is to find them. So where is this person? And if you love someone and it didn't work out, does that mean they weren't your soul mate?"
Included is a map of the restaurants and other places were many of the on-location episodes were filmed.She mentions that you can use it to take a walking tour of NYC to follow in the girls' footsteps, but while general locations of places are pointed out, there are no addresses! I thought this was the "updated" book so I don't understand why such pertinent information was excluded. There are no addresses except for the girls' apartments--which are not real places anyway! Sohn couldn't take the time to give addresses for the real places for those of us who aren't NYC dwellers?
So why only a four stars rating? Simply because there are no details about part two of season six. If Sohn had waited until the end of the entire series, this book would have been a more complete wrap-up. The last 8 episodes of Season 6 were barely mentioned. It's like she didn't watch or care about these final shows and just slapped a couple of lines at the end of the book to finalize it.
Additionally, Sohn doesn't appear to know the material as well as she should, and she leaves out lots of good information that should have been included. Her glib descriptions of the characters (men and women) make them seem more simple and uncomplicated than they were. Although she gives lip service to the idea that the characters changed and strengthened, she doesn't seem to understand what that means. It actually feels like real fans know so much more about this show than the writer herself. If you're going to directly quote a show, get it right. I like the pictures, and the overviews of the episodes, but really, at least watch the show before you try to review it.
In the end, I'm still keeping this one & don't really regret buying it (4 years or so ago)--all for the love of a show and the characters behind it. If you're a die-hard fan, then by all means, just relish the thought of burying yourself in scene stills and episode synopses plus the tons of photos in this book. The book is like re-living the whole experience!
