Sure of You is just one in the Tales of the City series of books. The whole 'Tales' series is absolutely amazing and you'll find it difficult to put them down once you've started reading. The chapters are very short which means that these books are perfect for reading on the tube or when you have only a short time to read in one sitting. Each chapter will generally focus on a specific character in the book of which there are several and these are followed throughout the whole series. Do start with 'Tales of the City' book first, as the books do run in sequence. The first three books have been made into films and part of them were screened on television several years ago. However the DVD's are available on amazon.com (the american amazon website) but only in region 1 unfortunately. Many DVD players do now play region 1 but need to check on your machine first before ordering them from amazon's amercian website.

I felt depressed

HAving read through all the novels in the series, it depresses me to see that the characters are moving away from each other, breaking what was one, big happy family. Guess that is the magic of Maupin, that all of his characters become a part of your life, and you feel sad when they are sad, you feel happy when they are happy, and you feel miserable when they drift apart

This book is the perfect round-off to a brilliant series

This book will have you in stitches and tears, often simultaneously. Maupin's portrayal of Brian and Mary-Ann is expert, and unbiassed in a way that let's the reader decide whose side he/she takes. The ending is very symbolic, and little Shawna is a delight. All round a brilliant read, especially for those who have followed the series.
