Summary: A Wonderfully Fun Fairytale.
Review: This book is hilarious! I couldn't put it down, but when I finally did (only because I was forced to by coming to the last page), I immediately started on the sequel 'Shopaholic Takes Manhatten' (and am eagerly awaiting the next installment, 'Shopaholic Ties the Knot')! Becky Bloomwood spends her way through somewhat implausible, but highly entertaining situations, with her unique Shopaholic attitude, providing page after page of belly laughs. Sure, her attitude toward bills and money in general is a little scary, but its extremeness is also part of its charm, and provides the impetus for Becky's adventures. Whether you are a Shopaholic yourself or not, this is a wonderfully fun read, and a way for all of us to see that maybe our own debt situations aren't as bad as they could be!

Summary: Not bad
Review: I liked Confessions of a Shopaholic, not because I found it exceptionally funny, but it told the story of a girl we can all relate to on some level. The writing was never jejune and suspenseful enough to keep you interested. The author created her as someone we could all feel sympathetic for, thus we all root for her in the end. This novel stars Rebecca (Becky, Bex) as its protagonist and the deemed "shopaholic." I enjoyed reading about her job as a financial journalist, however at some parts I found myself questioning it. It's a little hard to believe that a girl so easily persuaded and irresponsible ever managed to pull through college and get hired. At some points I also found myself feeling sorry for poor Mark Smeathe of Endwich Bank, who had to endure Becky's endless games. However, had she faced up to the predicament she got herself into, this would have been one short book. Another questions raised in the back of my mind was the motivation for her excessive spending, and I think Sophie Kinsella could have gone with that a little bit. However, all things considered I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I wouldn't recommend it to any man, ever.

Summary: This is soooo me!!!
Review: [...]I love this bk, it's the perfect mixture of comedy and drama! I couldn't put it down the night I bought it (LITERALLY) I read all 315 pgs in under 24 hrs & I'm the kind of girl who hardly reads magazine articles! I went to the spa & the woman there told me to put the bk down & relax! Ha! Not on my clock honey! I'm in the works of reading it for the 2nd time & my heart beats just as fast as it did when I read it for the 1st time! I relate so well to the main character, & when you think about it luggage is just as fun to buy as clothes or make-up or perfume or... ...well everything!!! If your a true shopaholic you'll buy this bk in the truck-load. Happy shopping!

Summary: I didn't want to believe the hype... but it was great!
Review: This book was fantastic--I read it in less than two days. The heroine is believable, even if some of her misadventures were somewhat far-fetched. One thing I did appreciate was how Becky was eventually responsible for her own actions and overspending. This was definitely a lighthearted, fun book.

Summary: An unexpected treat.
Review: Normally I prefer more serious and profound works of literature but a friend had this book and sugested I read it. I politely accepted it with the thought that it would just end up collecting dust on my book shelf. However I found I myself one Sunday morning with nothing to read and decided I would just read a few pages. I didn't stop until I was finished. It was a joy to read, fun, and crazy, yet you understand completely what Becky Bloomwood is feeling. Bravo Sophie Kinsella!

Summary: An Absolute Joy
Review: I had been given this book as a gift. I didn't think I would enjoy the book so I put it on my bookshelf, where it collected dust for about a year. Out of sheer boredom one day, I picked up the book and started reading it. Well! I instantly fell in love! I read Confessions of a Shopaholic in one day and ran to the bookstore the next day to buy Shopaholic Takes Manhattan. I loved Sophie Kinsella's informal writing style - I actually felt as though I was inside the head of the main character and could feel every emotion she was feeling - what a hystericaly funny ride! Confessions of a Shopaholic was definately one of the most entertaining books I have read in a long time.

Summary: A Good, Witty Read
Review: The main character, Becky Bloomwood, sniffs out sales like a bloodhound picks up scents. While some people drink, Becky shops. Unfortunately, Becky spends a lot more than she earns. Confessions of a Shopaholic is Becky's story, and it's a good read. Becky's experiences, from being fired from her job as a sales clerk because she hides a pair of pants from a customer(a pair she dearly wants herself) to the many demanding letters from her creditors and her not quite so honest responses...all of it is hilariously witty and scary at the same time. You'll want to read this book just to see if there is any help for Becky. It will also make you feel better about your own shopping habits. Buy this book and while you're here, you might as well pick up a few more books and maybe some kitchen things, some CD's...you know.

Summary: Funny and very witty
Review: "Confessions of a Shopaholic" by Sophie Kinsella deals with Rebecca Bloomwood who is a financial journalist writing for Successful Saving. Her main problem is that she is a compulsive shopper and because of that, she gets herself into trouble with banks, the credit card company and she even owes money to her roommate Suze. Deep in debt, Rebecca is also depressed as she feels that her life is static, with a so-so career, no boyfriend and is constantly hassled by the banks and credit card companies urging her to pay. Kinsella gives a good insight into the life of a shopaholic and how a person can get into serious trouble if she/he is not cautious. Not a shopaholic myself, I always find it difficult to understand how people can get into debt just by buying clothes, or any other things. Reading this book makes me realize that this habit can be considered a disease just like alcoholism. Even though shopaholics know that it is wrong to keep buying especially since the bank letters piled up, they seemed to have no self-control. The moral of the book is that, shop but have self-control and be moderate. I highly recommend this book for all the shopaholics and non-shopaholics out there. It doesn't matter which group you belong, you'll learn something from "Confessions of a Shopaholic." Not to mention that it is highly entertaining.
