Summary: Really bad book
Review: This was a really terrible book. The charatcter was a frivolous BRAT to whom I had NO sympathy. The love story was ridiculous. The end made NO sense. She didn't learn anything except how to use her VISA card. I am only glad that I borrowed the book from the library so my total loss was the 2 hours I spent skimming this dreadful book. Don't waste your time or money.

Summary: Any woman can relate...
Review: This book was a hysterical view of the one quality all women share: shopping. As a girl who also prefers clothing et. al. over eating and paying bills - certainly somthing to relate to. Hilarious, charming - written with such a great British sense of humor. Highly recommend!

Summary: I am Rebecca Bloomwood.
Review: I am by no means an avid reader, but I saw this book and felt an instant connection to Miss Bloomwood. I read it in two days which for me is quite an achievement. Anyone with a love of the finer things in life should enjoy this book. Rebecca lives a life she cannot afford but everyone thinks that she can. She loves the fabulous parts of fashion, dining and bargain shopping. If you shop to enhance your life and the lives of others this is the book for you!

Summary: definatly a dissapointment
Review: I must admit that I'm a snob for these "queen for a day" type books. They're quick and enjoyable. This story was a fairytale, a cute plot, kept me reading (thus the two stars). However, the end was rushed and not thought out well. So she gets a new job and her life turns around. Does she just forget about her old job and work? There's no conclusion. She literally dumps her past, and pays it away. After dragging on about this woman's shopping disease and all of the problems it causes, to have it wrap up so swiftly and unthoughtfully is a waste to this potentially sweet story.

Summary: relaxing & humorous
Review: while reading this book i saw myself in becky's character.i can pretty much relate to her indiscrimate spending habits and her excuses to buy useless things. i just wish the author could have focused some more to becky & suze friendship.
this book has such universal appeal that most women from any part of the world and across all age groups can relate to. it tackled a very common yet serious problem,i.e. poor handling of finances, in a very light and humorous way. it is so engrossing that i cannot put the book down. i cant wait to read the sequel!

Summary: I am not alone!
Review: This book speaks to all the shopaholic women out there.. which is most of us. While I could commiserate with the bills piling up, I could totally relate to how she looks at each outfit assessing it the way a magazine does... blouse - Banana Republic, skirt - DKNY, boots - Nine West. Its was great! And of course you can help but to applaud when her world finally turns itself right side up! Its every shopaholics dream come true! Great read!!

Summary: Slow starter, but gets good.
Review: It actually took me a while to finish this book because I was bored with it in the begining. I felt that the main character was irritating, stupid and boring. Finally when i got to the middle of the book it started getting a lot more interesting and I started actually feeling sorry for her. It has a great ending and i actually bought the next book in the series.

Summary: It Was Like Reading My Diary
Review: It was scary! I thought this book would be likehearted entertainment because I of course had put all of my financial missteps behind and could laugh at the good days of dodging creditors. But within ten pages I felt mighty uncomfortable but highly entertained because no matter how bad her mistakes you could always empathize! Easy read with great characters! Shopaholic Takes Manhattan wasn't as good but still entertaining (after a couple of chapters you do begin to loss patience, get a grip for crying out loud!)

Summary: Funny from the first word
Review: I bought this book on a whim, and then I read it over and over and over. As a new "grown-up" (a few years out of college and swimming in credit card debt), I found this book to be a hilarious release. While I think it may encourage cc spending, I still laugh all the way to the creditors.

Summary: The Check is in the Mail
Review: Kinsella's novel, Confessions of a Shopaholic, is the hilarious read of Becky Bloomwood who will make any excuse to buy anything and put off paying her ever increasing debt.Becky realizes her problem and comes up with "clever" ways she can help herself quit the buying habit and get herself out of debt; however, her plans usually backfire and only get her more in debt and her wardrobe closet more full. While Becky's credit history is taking a nose dive you will be doubled over laughing at her never ending schemes and excuses. From her letters to the credit card companies, letters to the bank, to her bag lunch scheme, to her retail shop job (for the discounts of course) get ready for some laughs.
