A review by thedailymartin
The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell

4.0

I've read reviews of this book complaining that this is not the Carrie from the show or the movie. The truth is this is 17-year-old Carrie who is a typical teen concerned with sex, keeping her boyfriend, and drinking. Occasionally, she thinks about her future. Hm, sounds a bit like Carrie the adult. I advise against comparing the writing styles of this book and the show because that is like comparing apples to oranges. For that matter, I don't recommend comparing this book to the SATC book either for the same reason.

This book is all about a typical teen who worries about what most teens have always worried about. It isn't particularly witty or funny, but neither is the original book. The story earned its fourth star on the last page.
