Summary: Wonderful Book in the Series
Review: An avid fan of the first two Shopaholic books, I was not dissapointed with this one. Although not the best book in the series( nothing can ever beat the first one in my opinion) It is still a great read. After reading the first and second book,I was thinking that Becky was starting to get a little predictable, but she managed to surpise me in the end. Enjoy!

Summary: Laugh-till-you-drop!
Review: This saccharine-laden confection topped with laugh-a-minute humor and a clueless shopaholic of a heroine Becky Bloomwood is reckless escapism and unfettered joy. Bestselling author Sophie Kinsella updates her Shopaholic series with this entry sending her heroine to the altars with dashing business whiz Luke Brandon. Along comes the riotous Danny fashioning her bridal wear, her enthusiastic parents digging up old frilly wedding dresses and busily preparing in Oxshott. The gaffe comes in when Luke's hoity-toity mother Elinor is determined to give a plush wedding reception at New York Plaza with the native harmonic symphony. Becky is in a fix with Luke's mid-life crisis and having to please both sides. When she decides to forgo the luxurious one in New York, it's too late because she has to pay the wedding planner $100,000 if the wedding is canceled. This delightful hoot of a book will make you weep and laugh your way to the altars.

Summary: Great fun!
Review: I really enjoyed all of the Shopaholic books with Shopaholic Takes Manhattan being my all-time favorite. I loved Shopaholic Ties the Knot. It was hysterical and fun! You will laugh out loud and find yourself trying to figure out what you would do if you faced Becky's dilemma. My only question is, and maybe I missed something, but the dates are wrong. Elinor's invitation on page 146 says June 21st at the Plaza and then Becky's parents selected June 22nd on page 45. I probably just missed something in my reading, but those dates stuck with me. Regardless, this is a great read - just in time for summer!

Summary: Couldn't stop reading....
Review: I borrowed "Confesions of a Shopaholic" from a friend on Saturday night. It is now Thursday and I am here searching for more books by Sophie Kinsella because I finished reading the "shopoholic" series last night. I was so entertained I couldn't put them down (Actually finished the first one in one day and ran out that night to buy the second and third!). Reading them in such quick succesion I was thrilled that the continuity was kept. I also noticed the shift from the first book to the third in "Becky's" personality. Through the writting style you could clearly see the difference (English slang slowly started to drift off in book two and by book three Becky "sounded" like an American. I'll be the first in line to buy the next book! I find myself sitting here thinking...what happens on the honeymoon???? Do they eventually have kids and does Becky buy out Harrods in the process of being pregnant?

Summary: Shopaholic Collects Alimony? Good book, bad leading man
Review: Okay, no one picks up a "Shopaholic" book looking for high lit. And Sophie Kinsella is much better at Bridget Jones clones than many other writers (I'm thinking of the truly terrible Jemima J., Bad Heir Day, etc.) This book is enjoyable, like the other two in the series. But I've got a major quibble: the hero, Luke, is really not very appealing, and in some ways, is about the least dreamy Dream Man I can think of. He's never around, he kowtows to his mother, and he and Becky seem to gloss over their problems with a laugh and wink, not any sort of even mildly realistic discussion. It's hard to see why anyone would want to marry him, so I guess this likeable, fluffy book doesn't go down as well as it should. Poor Becky! I hope the next book isn't "Shopaholic Collects Alimony."

Summary: Third Time Not a Charm!
Review: I must begin by telling the reader that I absolutely adore the first two installments in the Shopaholic trilogy. With that said, It was a terrible disappointment to read this book. There is no character development, nor plot. I found myself dozing off several times. Due to the ten plus dollars I paid, I made myself finish this book. C'mon, Kinsella spends the entire book having the heroine ponder one question. I think Kinsella could have done a lot with this book given the premise--Can you imagine what a shopaholic would be like planning her own wedding? Instead, the author leaves all the planning to secondary characters. If you must read this book, because you feel invested in the Shopaholic series, borrow it from a friend--this book is not a keeper.

Summary: Laughed my head off!
Review: Becky getting married?! Luke suddenly pops the question and the ensuing trials and tribulations are hilarious! And the problems with interfering mothers ring SO true. I don't want to give much away, I hate when people do that. If you liked the first two, you'll love this one... even if it does have a bit more drama than the previous ones.

Review: Hilariously funny, but at times I'd fade off thinking...when will she top??
We will still always love Becky.

Summary: Fun story about everyone's favorite shopaholic
Review: I've read all three of the Shopaholic books and I'm so grateful that the author hasn't dramatically changed Becky. Rather, Becky changes the way normal people do, in slow and subtle ways. There are noticeable differences in her character as it evolves over the three books, but Becky is still everyone's favorite shopaholic. She has matured a little, but she's still the queen of justification. I hate to classify books as "airplane books," because that seems to indicate that they're not worthwhile. This book, as well as the other two books in the series, make fabulous airplane reading, or beach/poolside reading, though, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Anything that can keep me occupied and entertained on a cross-country flight is OK by me. Becky Bloomwood is the quintessential justifier -- she can justify just about anything, including buying three pairs of shoes in different colors. They won't wear out as quickly that way, you know. She's a delightful character with intentions nobody can fault and an honsestly good heart. Sure, maybe she's a little indecisive. How was she supposed to be able to pick only one wedding dress?!? As she has in the past, Becky manages to get herself into a scrape in this book. Once more, though, she creatively pulls herself out of it and "saves the day." Luke is a lucky guy to have found somebody as interesting as Becky. He may be exasperated by her at times, (and who wouldn't be?) but she always manages to make him smile, just as she makes the reader smile.

Summary: Hard to Enjoy!
Review: I read and loved the first two books in the Shopaholic series and was anticipating the release of this third book. But I found it very hard to like and finish. Here's why: 1) While I used to find Becky endearing and sweet, I did not like her at all in this book. She is a pushover who doesn't really think about anything but shopping. She was just annoying. She could have easily gotten herself out of the "sticky situation" (see below) that is the focal point of the novel by doing the right thing. How very superficial. 2) There were no written reasons for us to like any of the supporting characters. Luke was a mama's boy and I found myself not even wanting Becky to marry him, Elinor was mean, and Becky's mom was trying to run the whole wedding for her. 3) There is no real plot, just Becky digging herself further and further into a hole in which she must decide between an amazing wedding at the plaza and a wedding at home. In typical Becky fashion- she continues to put off the decision. 4) The only reason I gave this book a star at all is because it is mildly entertaining and fun. But it is safe to say that I won't be reading any more possible sequels in the Shopaholic series.
