Summary: A great and funny sequal!
Review: This is the second book in the fabulous Shopaholic Series. In this story Becky seems to have it all. She and Luke are together she has a high profile TV career where she is helping people out with financial advice. The girl has it all right? Wait she is now going to Manhattan, one of the shopping Mecca's of the world, with Luke. Can her finances hold up, how will she and Luke do? Why does Luke really want to go to New York and what is his mother really like? All these and more questions (like what is an allover body wax really mean) in this book. This one not only made me laugh but honestly it made my really cry near the end. Becky's finances finally fall apart. You will get to see what she can to right the situation and who her friends really are as well as who she can count on.
Will she also finally find the job that is the best for her? Kinsells makes all of the characters come to life and Emily Gray (audio version) is the perfect reader to portray the emotion of parts of the book.. I love how there are always a few local "characters" thrown into the mix. I also continue to love the letters to and from the financial institutions that Becky deals with.

Summary: Shopaholics...BEWARE!
Review: Shopaholic takes Manhattan
Sophie Kinsella Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is written by Sophie Kinsella. This is the second book in the series of Shopaholic books, which follows Confessions of a Shopaholic. The main character, Becky Bloomwood, is a financial expert on London's Morning Coffee. Becky doesn't even take her own financial advice. She is what the book calls her, a shopaholic. Her boyfriend, Luke, is all work no play, they are complete opposites. Luke wants to move his company to New York City and he wants Becky to move with him. They go for a two-week trip and Becky spends more in two weeks than she did in London. Becky goes back to London and loses everything; she moves out of her flat and sells everything at an auction. Luke's friend Michael offers her a job in Washington D.C. and she thinks that she will take it. Luke and Becky got into a fight and when Becky leaves to get on the plane Luke tries to stop her but she leaves anyway.
I enjoyed this book because it is realistic and far-fetched at the same time. A girl moves to NYC, loses all of her money and has to move back. Becky is a girl that thinks she has it all. She loses everything and learns how hard she has to work to get what she really wants. She tries to make it as a financial expert but realizes she'd rather do something that she likes. So Becky decides to do that, get a job that she enjoys and loves.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to shop. I also would recommend this book to anybody who just wants a good laugh in a book. BY:

Summary: Best of Series!
Review: This is definatly the best of the three part series about hilarious Becky Bloomwood, although I'd recommend all three. I enjoyed seeing New York and the US in general through the eyes of the British Shopaholic. This is a quick read that does not get dull but keeps you turning the pages to see how Becky will get herself out of the sticky situations she brings upon herself. A great book to buy and pass around to your girlfriends and sisters.

Summary: Sophie Kinsella Rocks!
Review: First I read "Confessions of a Shopaholic". All I have to say is "WOW"! What an excellent, excellent Book. This book however, was even better. It let's you go deep inside this girl, Rebecca Bloomwood's shopaholic head. Let's face it, most girls have the same urges, maybe not to the extent of poor Becca, but some of us do have these tendencies. I felt like I was along side of Rebecca, having the same thoughts and interests! She is a strong woman of great character and taste! Cheers Sophie Kinsella for all your girlie girl novels! Keep writing, Please! :0)

Summary: More of the same
Review: My complaint about the first book was that the main character was stupid, and this book is more of the same. There are somany tiems the main characters does something that no one with an ounce of IQ would do it is very unrelatable. It is funny though, like the first one, which is why I kept on with the series. I also like the other characters in the book, like Suze. Luke, however, for being such a major character, does not seem likeable at all and reallt didnt care whether or not they stayed togheter.

Summary: Shopoaholic series
Review: I enjoyed the entire "Shopaholic" series but I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 only because the books are easy to read and great way to just zone out and relax, they are not great literature. But they are rather fun to read and hard to put down because you are always wondering what the next crisis Becky will get herself into and how she will get herself out. You can relate to her if you have an ounce of the "shopaholic gene" in you, although, I wonder if there are people out there that are this crazy about shopping and if they get themselves this seriously in trouble. I consider myself a shopaholic but I have never gotten in the situations Becky has gotten into, not even close !
I have reccommended them and loaned the books to all my friends and we all agreed they are a great summer book to read or a way to get away from boredom and monotony of everyday life with a giggle. Do not expect a deep or serious novel with Sophie Kinsella's writing. She writes for the 20's and 30's woman who has a sense of humor.
I look forward to more books by Sophie Kinsella.

Summary: Awsome
Review: This book was Awsome! The Author does a wonderful job of details and relating you to the characters. I could not set it down. It's a great read.
Rating: 
Summary: Toilet literature of the dull persuasion.
Review: I must admit: I read this book entirely while sitting on the toilet. Further: I have not read the first book in this series. And: I did not pay money for this book (as I found it in the toilets) and perhaps my view of the book would change had I paid money for it. However: this book was not naught but fluff and sadly, not fluff of a particularly interesting variety. It is not objectionably long; the characters, however, quickly reveal themselves as offensively one-dimensional and monotony sets in. Becky likes to shop. Luke likes to work. The villain is villainous. Luke's mother is villainous. The shopgirls are helpful. The roommate is supportive. This carries on for a good three hundred pages. Rather excessive, I thought.

Summary: Among the best silly and funny chick lit. around
Review: I enjoyed this book. What makes it the best chick lit. around is that it is well-written, (Do you hear that, "Nanny Diaries" authors?)unabashedly funny, and doesn't take itself seriously. Pure, fluffy fun. Also, the main character Becky is easy to like.
