Buy This Book! Again and Again!
What a perfect series! I have read and reread this incredible book, always ending up giving my latest copy to a dear friend or family member who needs to be reminded of how magical and fateful life can really be. After reading the books the first time in college at The University of Texas at Austin, I now find myself living in San Francisco. Armistead Maupin characterizes the many people (straight and gay) who fill this incredible city so perfecly, you will swear he's writing about people you know. If you haven't ever seen the PBS movie version of the first book, buy it here on Amazon. It's equally wonderful!

Too addicting!!!
The entire collection of the Tales of the City Sreries is just too addiciting. I found myself saying "just one more chapter" even though is was 1:00 in the morning. The book(s) are cleverly written, and have several one liners that make you laugh out loud.. I whole-heartedly reccommend this book to anyone who loves a good soap opera with a "family" twist.

Try and put it down!
These books are a must for anyone. They have an appeal to the diverse audience and are so full of surprises, you'll never want to put the book down. Funny, Sad, Charming and Unpredictable, the story lines are original and constantly twisting. I have now read everything I can get my hands on by Armistead Maupin and I can't wait until he has another book published. He is in a class of his own.
