Average Rating: Rating: - Trading Up will light up your summer! In one hundred years, Trading Up will be taught in English classes the way we read Fitzgerald, Parker and Hemmingway. candace Bushnell is a brilliant writer, and this book is the best book of the summer, maybe the year. Rating: - What are you willing to do to get ahead? Part of Bushnell's genius is that she never allows the reader to completely idolize or demonize her characters. They start out as caricatures and then, as the book proceeds, become multi-dimensional and nuanced without the usual "you can't judge a book by it's cover" nonsense. They are superficial and intelligent, desperate and powerful, vengeful and loving, necessary and superfluous. Each character is attempting to assert her identity within the often-chaotic social hierarchy of New York society. As such, Bushnell's characters mirror the general psychological state of the ambitious: They continually recreate their personal boundaries, limits, and sense of morality in an effort to balance the often conflicting notions of who they are with what they will do in order to succeed. Bushnell is not afraid of ambiguity. Because of this, "Trading Up" is a wildly fun and fascinating read. Rating: - Essential Summer Reading!!! I love Sex and the City and I loved Candace Bushnell's last book, Four Blondes. I read a strange review of her new book in The New York Times, but knew I had to get this book as soon as it came out. I don't know what the Times reviewer was talking about. She missed the point of this brilliant, hilarious, smart and incredibly entertaining book entirely. Candace Bushnell is my hero. Everyone should read her new book. If the author weren't so beautiful and glamorous, people would be comparing her to Tom Wolfe and Bonfire of the [Vanities!!!]
