review 1: Bushnell is such a master of observing native New Yorkers in their habitats--her books never disappoint in making NYC a palpable character, and the people within her stories reflect the city's personality--every facet of it. One Fifth Avenue is almost like a documentary in the way the "camera" shifts to follow her cast of characters as they act and interact, carrying the reader along and launching us into Manhattan society--the pinnacle, the fringes, and the wanna-bes. A story with a less urgent pace, One Fifth Avenue is more of a ballad, seducing the reader into the rarefied world of desirable NYC co-ops and the personal and political conflicts and alliances among the residents who people its self-contained universe--like an urban high-society Lord of the F... morelies.

not quite what I was expecting - I thought this was going to be some rubbishy chick lit - I had not realised the author wrote Sex and the City. I enjoyed the book - it is a chick lit really but with a clever cynical look at New York society in much the same way I imagine Sex and the City was - having never seen it. Not many likeable characters and things were tied up a bit too neatly - but it was an amusing book to read.
