Nice Version but It's not the same book as in Sex and the City November 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this as a give, and I thought it was the exact same book that apears in the movie. It's not, but it's still a very nice version.
Beautiful... November 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This collection of love letters from famous men reminds us that men can be moved by emotion too. I read this alone and to my boyfriend who has written such moving letters to me as well and I feel special.

Excellent Book October 29, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I absolutely loved this book. I found it difficult to put down. It was so nice to have the short biography at the end of each love letter so that you could know something about the man who wrote it. It was also nice to know more about the role the woman he was writing to played in his life. There were so many beautiful words written in those letters. I'm glad the rest of us can get a glimpse of such passionate relationships.
