I love the Tales of the City series and I also really enjoyed this particular book; however, it has completely turned me off from ever buying a Barnes and Noble eBook. There are so many typographical errors in the Nook version of this book that it became ridiculously distracting. With in the first 100 pages I found at least 20 errors, some of them on consecutive pages! I contacted customer support and received a "sorry for the inconvenience" email. Highly recommend the book but buy it from somewhere other than B&N.

Babycakes, Book 4

Mary Ann and Brian's marriage is in trouble, because he wants to be a father, but her job as a reporter is too demanding. I feel sad for Mouse, because Jon has passed away from AIDS. (Babycakes was the first work of fiction to acknowledge the arrival of AIDS.) A lieutenant from the Britannia has jumped ship, and traded apartments with Mouse. Mona is living in Seattle and wonders if it has been too long to reconnect with her family at Barbary Lane.

Great Series

This is the funniest, wildest and craziest series I have ever read. I found I could not put the book done. I would stay up all night to finish. You think you know where the book is going but you don't have a clue. It is so fun and tantalizing this should be a must read for anyone with a sense of humor. I have recommended this series to many friends and we have all agreed. It is the best.

Maupin Does It Again!

I've read the three preceeding Tales of the City books and this was one of my two favorites. Maupin is a wonderful writer. His style is so familiar and warm that you simply cannot put down his work. BabyCakes is a prime example. This is an outstanding book for any writer interested in learning how to draw the reader into a story and keep him or her there. I loved it.
