This book wasn't horrible, but it wasn't my favorite. At times it was hard to follow as it kept switching between events in the main characters lives so suddenly. It read a little like a soap opera.

This was a quick, easy read......but it left me feeling rather empty, as if I had eaten a full meal without consuming a thing. The book centers on the glamorous world of Manhattan's black elite and the lengths they'll go to to maintain their position in life. Pretty much teh same old tired forumla that's been used so many times before. If you enjoy "lite" reading without any substance you'll enjoy Gotham Diaries. ( )
