Summary: Shopaholic Ties the Knot...at what wedding?
Review: Shopaholic Ties the Knot, by Sophie Kinsella, is the story of Becky Bloomwood, and her fiancé, Luke Brandon getting married. Becky's southern-sweet parents immediately start planning and organizing the wedding, but little do they know that Luke's rich, manipulative mother, Elinor, is hosting a wedding of her own. Everything gets blown out of proportion when Becky wants to go to Elinor's wedding, but doesn't know how to tell her parents. Everything at Elinor's wedding is fancy and expensive, while at Becky's parents' wedding, it's homey and cheap. Soon Becky comes to her senses and decides that she would rather get married at home, with her parents. But there is an obstacle...can Becky cancel Elinor's wedding?

Summary: Shopaholic gets tied in knots
Review: I picked up this book off the rack at Gatwick and read all the way home to Pa. This was my first encounter with Ms. Becky Bloomwood and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Having recently planned a wedding I could relate to a lot of the things that happened. From trying her mother's wedding dress to trying to decide on one from dozens.
Becky's attempts to avoid problems, with lies, and please everyone especially herself backfire in a big way. She has two weddings planned on the same day on two different continents. How will this all work out?
If you need some light reading and a laugh try Shopaholic Ties the Knot.
Now I'm gooing to go backwords through the series and find out how it all got started.

Summary: Not as good as the others... but still a great read!
Review: Nice way to end the series. Story line not as good as the others, but still a good book. If you read the other two, you owe it to yourself to see how it all ends.

Summary: Decent book but not as good as the first two
Review: I would be lying if i said i didn't like this book. I did enjoy it for the most part. I felt the other two books about Becky were much better and easier to read. This one lacked some depth. I was pretty amazed at what Becky did at the ending...now that took some serious guts!

Summary: How could anyone have published this?
Review: It is astonishing and discouraging that this truly terrible book even got published. But, it also seems not to have been edited. (...) The plot is boring and absurd. The main character, however, is detestable. (...)Fortunately, England has also given us Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Swinburne.

Summary: How could this book possibly have been published?
Review: I find it amazing and discouraging that this truly poor book would be received well by anyone. The author seems not to know how to construct a sentence. The grammar is terrible. Words are summarily invented. Moreover, the main character is a self-centered, stupid, spendthrift who enjoys burdening others with the consequences of her unfettered appetites. Luckily, England has also given us Shakespeare and Swinburne,

Summary: shopaholic ties the knot
Review: I am astounded that this book was published, much less edited. The author seems bent on inventing words, usually adverbs, in every sentence, i.e. "blearily, puzzedly." Not only is the grammar appalling, but the dialogue is repetitive and boring. The idiotic main character lies, whines and deceives her way through life's everyday struggles. What a pitiful representative of the British educational system and of young women today.
I completely agree with the reviewer who wanted to give the book 2 negative stars and felt sorry for the trees who sacrificed their lives for the paper it was printed on.

Summary: Still pretty good
Review: This book let me down a little bit after the amazing first 2 books in the series. However, Becky Bloomwood was still the girl I came to love and admire, with all her quirky ways and wonderful sense of humour. If you've read the first two, you've got to finish off with this one. It gets a little far fetched, but we're all looking for an escape from reality some times, right!?

Summary: Silly as it gets!
Review: This book is about as silly as it gets! If you are looking for a light read, this book is perfect, as are the previous 2 books in the series.
Becky is a total airhead, with nothing much going on between her ears besides thoughts of shopping. She seems even more flaky than she was in the prior books.
Luke seems to have undergone a personality change. No longer does he seem to have passion, and frankly I wondered what Becky saw in him.
Suze returns, and is one plus of this book. She is level headed when Becky is off dreaming, and in my favorite scene she calls Becky selfish, which is dead on in my opinion.
I'm not sure where this series could go from here. Becky would be a terrible mother. Could you ever imagine her giving up her extravagant shopping sprees to save for her child's college fund?
