Rating: Summary: Funny Review: It is awsome for 20ish women who wants to buy everything on the store. I laughed at it and enjoyed it a lot.
Rating: Summary: Confessions of a Shopaholic Review: This book is hilarious! This was the first time I had read any of Sophie Kinsella's work and I have already ordered the two sequels! The chrachter Becky Bloomwood lives in a world all her own - we all deserve Gucci, Tiffany's and more right? Only a small thing like PAYING for it stops us. No more! Becky has it all figured out, not! This book is worth the price just to read the letters to her banker!
Rating: Summary: Are you not surprised?? Review: This book was absolutely entertaining...entrancing...hypnotic... familiar...embarassing...hilarious...revealing...conspiratory... decadent and properly vengful! An easy, but fulfilling 'must read' - if you enjoy shopping in the slightest, invest your shopping dollars into this series...an empty shell with fulfilling insides!
Rating: Summary: shopping can be so much fun Review: i loved this book, full of witty characters, charm, and humor, i laughed at every turn of the page, and the other two books are even better. you must read them all. i really related to the main character and her urge to shop. Great read! i suggest you buy it and add it to your personal library!
Rating: Summary: Shopaholic? Story of my life! Review: Confessions of a Shopaholic...That's me, I said to myself as I was browsing through books. I didn't even have to think twice about buying it. It's hilarious! While I was reading it, I had to stop and read parts aloud to my boyfriend/my best friend/my sister because they were so funny. Becky is so loveable, and I couldn't wait to read the rest of the books.
Rating: Summary: The Best Book Ever Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time!In "Confessions of a Shopaholic", Rebecca Bloomwood has a disease..... A shopping disease. She loves to spend money. She can't help it.... okay, well maybe she can. She has a job writing for a magazine called "Successful Savings", but she hates it. And she hardly earns any money. Every month she gets bills with large red sums on thme...but she never does anything about them. Will she ever get out of debt? Find out in the wildly funny and popular book by Sophie Kinsella. I hope you enjoy it!!!
Rating: Summary: Uplifting Review: If you need a quick pick-me-up and can't afford a new pair of Prada's, then this will probably do the trick. Being a classic Shopaholic myself, I found this book to be both hilarious and insightful. Regretfully, I saw a lot of my former self in this character and I think I learned a thing or two. Reading this book was a great way to spend my afternoon, however, I think I should have stopped there. I purchased the next two in the series and it went a bit downhill. Manhattan is still funny, but you get tired of her antics after a short while. Wedding is also still funny, but frustrating. I feel that the frustrating aspect of the wedding book overshadowed the funny. I would not say that reading the last two was a complete waste of time, but they definitely are not going to make the "bestsellers" list if you know what I mean.
Rating: Summary: If you enjoy shopping, this book's for you! Review: Sophie Kinsella has hit the nail on the head with this series. I saw it from across the store and figured it couldn't be too bad if it involved shopping. Sophie's characters are funny, witty, smart, evil (when they need/want to be), and a downright pleasure to read about. I took this book with me on vacation thinking that it would not get read except for when I was on the plane. Boy was I wrong!! Even if shopping is not your thing, this book is wildly entertaining and well worth the read.
Rating: Summary: Laugh Out Loud! Review: I was sooo addicted to the book just pages after I started. Although I cannot ever think of spending that much money, I know how it is to procrastinate a little. A great summer read!
Rating: Summary: Left me cold Review: Maybe I'm just out of touch with modern society. Maybe I'm too much in touch, and our heroine's credit problems strike too close to home. At any rate, I just could not get interested in this book, in Becky Bloomwood and her problems, or in any of the other characters in the story. Conspicuous consumption is not funny. Going hopelessly into debt so that you can buy more stuff you don't need is not funny.
