Summary: 2nd book, better than the first
Review: Having read "Bridget Jones Diary" first and then the "Edge of Reason", I was glad that I had read the first, just to have the background to understand the second. I found the first book to be so-so as far as entertainment value. It is basically just an ordinary single womens view of life.
Rating: 
Summary: Hilarious and surprisingly touching.
Review: The heroine is as lovable as they come, and the story is always amusing as we watch poor Bridget blush again and again. Triumphant story of hopelessly vain Singleton, seeking to be self-assured and happy in an obstacle-course world of smugness. Makes you glad your life isn't as sad as hers, or if we're truly honest with ourselves, makes you glad you're not alone in your humiliations. Good for light, feel-good reading (summer).

Summary: Entertaining story of being single
Review: This is a very funny novel. The story of Bridget and her friends brings back some memories of being single, but her adventures are pretty extreme. Her liquor salesman must be quite wealthy, I'm amazed at her alcohol consumption(and went to a college with a well known rep as a party school).Bridget's take on being a singleton is not to be missed, enjoy.

Summary: a hilarious and captivating read
Review: Bridget Jones is one of the funniest books I have ever read. We have all had our "Bridget moments". She is a thirty-something who writes down everything she eats, her weight gain and loss, her daily intake of fags (cigarrettes) and alcohol consumption. The diary starts off detailing Una's New Year's Day Curry Buffet where she's asked "How's your love life?" She thinks to herself, "Oh God. Why can't married people understand that this is no longer a polite question to ask? We wouldn't walk up to them and roar, 'How's your marriage going? Still having sex?'" This is just one example of her engaging humor. While at the party, her parents try to set her up with Mark Darcy, a boy that she used to play in the wading pool with as a child while she was running around naked. She sees him and immediately disqualifies him as a potential candidate because he is wearing a V-neck diamond patterned sweater. "As my friend Tom often remarks, it's amazing how much time and money can be saved in the world of dating by close attention to detail. A white sock here, a pair of red braces there, a gray slip-on shoe, a swastika, are as often as not all one needs to tell you there's no point writing down phone numbers and forking out for expensive lunches because it's never going to be a runner." And so the diary goes. She later talks about her moments at work where she has ongoing e-mails with her boss's boss, Daniel, about the length of her skirt. This book is a must-read! I have already purchased Edge of Reason and can't wait to begin reading it.

Summary: very funny...
Review: BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY by Helen Fielding was a hilarious, laugh-out-loud novel. I recommend it to anyone who's not easily offended.

Summary: WOW!!!!
Review: I really like this book. It was different, and at first I had to get use to it, but after a while, I really got into the book and really enjoyed it. It goes along with the plight of all women and I totally agree with it! So..., pick up this book and read!

Summary: Good for giggles
Review: I haven't been single in over 20 years, but I could still relate to the escapades of Ms. Jones, especially the self-deception! Helen Fielding captures the voice of diary prose in such a hilarious way. I find myself imitating that style now in my own journaling, and I'm actually annoying myself, as I am neither single nor British. When a book makes you laugh out loud and read tidbits to your hubby, you know you're being entertained. Still rooting for Bridget!

Summary: A fun read...
Review: This was such a fun book to read! It goes by so fast and every minute of it is full of funny, interesting, good clean comedy. Although I can't yet relate to Bridget Jones (I am single, but just 19), I was told by an older lady that everything she went through was so true! Any person (male or female) would enjoy this novel. Yeah, it's about a single 30-something female, but her daily diary entries are fun for anybody to read. Share this with a friend, or better yet, tell them to go buy one themselves!

Summary: Fun and Funny
Review: I read this book about a year ago, but I will never ever forget Bridget Jones. She's lovable, pitiful, sweet, and silly all at the same time, and her misadventures are downright hillarious. Everyone, at one time or another, has had a "Bridget moment," which is why it is so easy to identify with Fielding's heroine. Whether she's showing up to a Sunday afternoon tea in a Playboy bunny costume or screwing up at her job, the lovable Bridget will have you in stitches. I couldn't put it down!

Summary: Quirky story of a plucky Singleton reviewed by Smug Married
Review: This was my second time reading Bridget Jones's Diary and it is just as good the second time around (and after seeing the movie twice, as well!) Bridget is a quirky, self-deprecating, humorous, honest character. Anytime I start thinking wistfully about my Singleton days, I only have to remind myself that the grass wasn't always greener, as Bridget Jones's Diary so skillfully depicts. It's a hard job being a Singleton!
