Summary: Este libro mantiene su gracia en la versión española
Review: Habiendo leído 'Bridget Jones's diary' en inglés, decidí leer este libro, la traducción española y debo decir que me ha gustado muchísimo y todavia tiene tanta gracia como antes. Bridget describe su vida cotidiana en su diario, siempre con los mismos comentarios muy collejos y graciosos. Cuando leo este libro, siempre identificas con Bridget porque es un caracter muy normal y tiene las mismas dudas como todo el mundo. Me gusta las palabras que ha utilizado; mmmmm, uf, umf etc. Es muy gracioso y me ha gustado muchísimo. La traducción es perfecto y me encanta. Leídlo ahora mismo. Siento hacer tantos errores españoles.

Summary: Persuasion on the edge of reason
Review: The Edge of Reason is another hilarious episode from the chaotic life of Bridget Jones who follows closely the footsteps of Jane Austen's heroines. Now that she has - like Elizabeth Bennet - coupled up with Darcy, she - like Anne Elliott - lets her friends and self help books persuade her to take a course that will lose her the love of her life.

Mr. Darcy turns into a softened form of Captain Wentworth, ready to marry or rather - in this day and age - shack up with anybody who takes his fancy and who has an opinion of that is entirely her own.

Bridget stands by and watches, and, like Anne, is accosted by small children, keeps her head in a crisis, observes the blind love of Darcy's parents for one another, endures with pleasure how Darcy's father cannot remember women's first names, has a terrible fright when she thinks Darcy is married to someone else, receives a letter and watches as an injured woman falls in love with Benwick over books. Not quite the poetry that Jane Austen had in mind though, but more up-to-date literature. At the end she knows it is time to make choices of her own...

Towards the end the story takes a turn that stretches belief a little bit, but the last chapters make everything OK again.

This book makes quite enjoyable reading.
