5.0 out of 5 stars Once Is Not Enough!, March 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fabulous Nobodies (Hardcover)

Fabulous Nobodies is the definitive eighties club culture novel.

Everyone that I know who has read it, has fallen head over heels in love with Reality - the fabulous nobody doorwhore, who desperately styles herself into a fabulous somebody.

A brilliantly written, inspirational novel that you will treasure and read over and over again.

Can't wait for Miss Tulloch's follow up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Carrie Bradshaw circa 1989, April 14, 2007

This review is from: Fabulous Nobodies (Paperback)

Are you curious about the life of Carrie Bradshaw before she became the successful columnist with a penchant for designer clothes and $450 shoes? If you answered "Yes!" then you need to read this book. The story of Reality Nirvana Tuttle is, without a doubt, an unintended pre-quel to Sex and the City.

Ignore what the woman from Library Journal has to say! I'm certain that she's the wrong demographic to understand the social relevance of this story. Fabulous Nobodies is funny, earnest, so very New York City in the late 1980s, and, for those of us who were in our 20s during that time, a wonderfully fun trip down memory lane. If you can remember when in was possible to rent an apartment in alphabet city for $350 month and have a tub in your kitchen then you'll appreciate this story. If you can remember scouring Goodwill, Sal's Boutique, and vintage clothing shops with your meager earnings from a club, record store, or underground publication then you'll appreciate this story. If you can remember life before the internet and came of age at a time when local fanzines and arts newspapers were the ruling social arbiters then you'll appreciate this story.

Lee Tulloch's book is a completely captivating snapshot of a place, time, and people who no longer exist except in our scrapbooks and collected memorabilia.

This review is from: Fabulous Nobodies: A Novel About a Girl Who's in Love With Her Clothes (Paperback)

I saw this book at a used book store up in maine, and i picked it up on a whim - i couldn't put it down until I'd read the entire thing, TWICE! This is one of my favorite books of all time. Incredibly funny and witty, an easy read and a good time.
