Summary: Pretty Funny!
Review: I picked up this book at a Walmart over thanksgiving (I needed something to distract me from the relatives). I actually didn't think the book would be that good, but after the first few pages, I could relate to the main character. Her ups and downs were a little similar to Bridget Jone's, but the money aspect clearly differentiated the plots...all-in-all: A pretty good read for a vacation...it was so darn funny!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OMG - Laugh out Loud
Review: The funniest book I have read in years! People on the airplane must have thought I was insane!! If you liked Bridget Jones, then get ready for Becky, because she is about 5x's funnier. The author did an Excellent job of surprising the reader, and the twists and turns were hysterical. Several times I had to close the book for a minute, because I was cringing at what Becky had gotten herself into.

A modern, single Lucille Ball - but instead of Ricky getting her out of the tricky situation, she goes shopping!

Great Christmas present!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Laughed out loud!
Review: Shopaholics - buy this book! It is very fun and enjoyable to read...I even laughed out loud. If you enjoyed Bridget Jones' Diary check this out, you will like it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Summer Read
Review: The Shopaholic books are excellant for no-brainer humor and entertainment. If you feel like reading an amusing series, grab a glass of wine or cola, relax and have fun. Great easy reading when you just want to have fun and not use your brain cells. If you enjoyed Bridgett Jones or The Nanny Diaries, you will probably enjoy this one, too.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I honestly thought this book was brilliant....

Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. It is written with an incredible British humour (Bridget Jones type... but funnier), plus it is filled with very realistic situations, and real life places making it easier to picture.

The book is about the very complicated life of a superficial Becky Bloomwood, who lives to shop and shops to live...
What I loved about her was that she could be anyone... of course... she goes a bit too far.. but I am sure most of us have used our credit cards when we shouldn't have, or bought things we didnt actually need but convinced ourselves we couldn't keep breathing is we didn't have them, and afterwards couldn't figure out how to pay for them, and so on...

The book is also filled with very specific details (which proves the author did some research concerning shops and prices) and is, in my opinion a wonderful insight into Becky's mind, especially when trying to justify her shopping habits.... simply fabulous!!

It kept me laughing from cover to cover... and thats a bit hard to achieve.

READ IT! You won't regret it!!!

Summary: Simply Delightful!
Review: An entertaining story we can all relate to and laugh at!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Delightful, Yet Fast Read
Review: I absolutely adored Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic. I stayed up all night, reading about the quirky, endearing, shop-a-holic, Rebecca Bloomburg. I don't know if it's my obsession with the British or the fact that Rebecca made my shopping obsessions seem so minor. I didn't even feel so guilty about having just bought another pair of black shoes, when I only have a dozen or so pairs in an already bulging closet, because I realized that there's someone with a more extreme addiction than myself. It may even serve as an antibiotic for a reader's recent case of buyer's remorse. Aside from Rebecca's humorous, hare-brained schemes to rearrange her day around a scarf sale, there is a story about actions and consequences, and discovering one's own hidden talents to rectify an otherwise sticky situation.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst of the worst
Review: By now, everyone knows what the plot of the book is, therefore I will refrain from recounting the ever so intriguing and not all predictable storyline. Instead, I want to say that I was so appalled by this book that it physically hurt me to read it. Kinsella's style is pitiful. Her efforts at trying to be the next Helen Fielding fails ever so miserably. Rebecca, the main character in this book, does not come off as a witty, smart person to be pitied, as Fielding's Bridget Jones was. A tragic waste of paper. Please, if you are in any way an intelligent and sensible person, spare yourself the physical torture I went through and go buy yourself a copy of Austen or Tolstoy.
