Summary: What Happend Helen???
Review: Let me begin with stating I LOVED Bridget Jones Diary, Edge of Reason and Cause Celeb; and have recommended them to everyone I know. HOWEVER, this thin bit of nothing was horrid. It was painful to read, with mere allusions to the side-splitting antics excected of Helen Fieldings characters. This is one that will end up in my recycling bin.

Summary: For a good cause
Review: Not the funniest of Helen Fielding's works, but buying it gives money to feed starving people. Who can say no to that? Save lives, be amused, and you don't even have to leave your chair.

Summary: What the Heck is This???
Review: This little book is, in my opinion, a really poor attempt at humor and a huge disappointment to the wonderful Bridget Jones diaries. If you have read the Bridget Jones books, then this little book is unnecessary since it is just regurgitated material from her diaries. However, if you have not read the Bridget Jones diaries yet, I highly suggest you do that first since this little book might be a turn-off if you don't know what you are dealing with ahead of time. This book contains silly pictures of how to shove things under your bed before company comes and how to call for Domino's delivery...(yes, there are pictures showing the reader how to dial the telephone, but it doesn't stop there. We also get photographic details on how to open the box and put the pizza in our mouths!) If this kind of information could be useful to you then, by all means, get this book. However, if you are like most of us and already know how to dial a telephone, stick a slice of pizza in your mouth, shove things under your bed and step on a bathroom scale, then I suggest you save your (money).

Summary: The single life according to Bridget!
Review: This little booklet was so much fun to read! It is filled with Fielding's ironic humor and signature style. Bridget has created her own little self-help book. Here, you will learn how to cook, eat, weigh yourself and even how to be your friends' therapist. It is all done with an ironic twist!Every Helen Fielding fan should get a copy of this book. Granted, I feel it should have been longer -- but Fielding's humor is well worth it. Get it!

Summary: Quiet and powerful
Review: This movie is so unlike most movies being made today--no flashy action sequences, no pithy one-liners. Just a quiet, moving film about real people and real life. Man in the Moon features some of the most realistic relationships depicted on screen. Dani's relationships with her father, sister, and first love Court are all so well-developed and complex. We see how they love each other, and hurt each other, and help each other. All the acting is superb, but Reese Witherspoon is a revelation. As Dani, we see the exhilaration of first love, the sadness of betrayal, and the gift of healing. There is not a false note in this movie.

Summary: very disappointing
Review: This was not v.g. Very disappointing... even though some of the proceeds go to charity, this was still not worth it. Fielding could have been much more creative & innovative with this guide. Instead, the book is sloppy and rushed (too many typos), and simply not funny. She turns Bridget into much more of a silly caricature than she is in the first two Bridget Jones'.

Summary: *THE* Guide
Review: Tuesday 20 July- Time spent infront of computer: 12hrs and 9mins (v. bad but not self's fault since there's nothing on TV) If you are a fan of Bridget Jones, the movie or books, and you're looking for a fun read- this is the book for you. It has "helpfull"[ah-hem] house keeping, love and general anti-desasters tips from the woman who knows all about it. **** Not going to make it a long review because am v.v. hungry and tired. Going to eat 3-day old donnut, bye :D
