I liked the the first two or three of the series better, but this one was still fun to read and better than the one where the women are camped near the what-cha-ma-call it Grove -- the Men's exclusive hideaway. Didn't care much for that one. ( ) Thack seemed to sort something out for a moment. In my mind, this book represents an inflection point in this series. This is less a story than A Lesson, Cautioning Against Shallowness! It came a cropper compared to the delirious delights of the earlier books, in my eyes, for that reason. One issue is that I've never for a single instant thought that the marriage of Mary Ann and Brian was in any way a good idea or destined to last. It's been doomed to failure from the get-go. So the end, as it's been coming on, hasn't been suspenseful to me so much as impatience-inducing and irritating. Pull your head out! I want to shout at Brian; Stop being such a user! I want to scream at Mary Ann. So this wasn't a great release of tension but a sour puddle of spilled tea. Not a place for someone to enter the City. Better to review these together as my comments will almost certainly apply equally. If you're not already aware of the Tales of the city books, then you're missing a treat. I think they were originally written as a newspaper serial, so the chapters are short & snappy. All the characters interlink, some directly, some in the most haphazard manner, but always in an amusing and touching way. Mostly they are centred on Mrs Madrigals house in Barberry Lane, San Francisco and her wierd & wonderful tennants. They fall in and out of love, find they are related in random ways. In particular, there is a strong thread of non-traditional(desperately searching for a better work here, but just can't put my finger on one) relationships and how AIDS ravaged the gay community in San Francisco. These two books are the last in the original series (although he has written a couple more since - along the lines of a 20 years on catch up for a couple of characters) and follow the usual pattern. I guess they're really a written Soap Opera, but so much better. Always a delight to read & always a very quick read as you can't put them down until you find out what happens & how all the the threads are going to come together. Better search out the 20 year catch ups now! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A fiercely ambitious TV talk show host finds she must choose between national stardom in New York and a husband and child in San Francisco. Caught in the middle is their longtime friend, a gay man whose own future is even more uncertain. Wistful and compassionate, yet subversively funny, Sure of You could only come from Armistead Maupin.
