Shopaholic Ties the Knot

Rating:
Summary: One of Britain's Best
Review: Sophie Kinsella has done it again,and for those of us getting married, well we are glad she has. Funny, bright and plenty of fluff, this book ranks with Diary of a Mad Mom by Laura Wolf and Otherwise Engaged by Suzanne Finnamore

Summary: Becky's back!
Review: I just now got around to reading the third installment of the Shopohlic series and have to say, Becky has not changed that much. Sure, she was more focused on her fiancee this time and her soon to be mother in law, but in Becky style, she couldn't just pick one wedding dress! I found it to be funny and entertaining and one of the best books I've read all year, including, "Heartbreaker" by Kim Corum and "Mr. Maybe" by Jane Green.

Summary: Shopaholic 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: Shopaholic
Review: I love all three books equally! I couldn't put any of them down, I think I finished reading all three in a matter of a few days! Then I re-read each one, and I usually hate to read! I hope that Sophie Kinsella comes out with a fourth addition to the series!

Summary: Best one yet
Review: This is my favorite of the Shopaholic books. Becky just gets funnier with every new entry into the series. I couldn't put this book down. Can't wait for the next one (I hope there'll be a next one)!!!

Summary: Not for Shopaholic Ties the Knot
Review: Very slow start, especially for the single women that love and relate to the other Shopaholic books. Not only did it take me a while to read it, unlike the other ones, there was nothing in this book begging to be read. I preferred the other ones, and hope Sophia Kinsella brings her new series back to the greatness of the first two Shopaholic books.

Summary: Addictive!
Review: You can't find many books that are as much fun to read as the Shopaholics. And each one is as good as the last. Fun from the first page to the last. Well done!

Summary: Best of the 3!
Review: This is was my favorite shopaholic. Yes they are light no brainer reads, but there are some good messages and life challenges every woman can relate too. Becky finds herself a bit more debt free this time, but has a whole different set of challenges. Kinsella makes her character come so alive for me in this book, I miss Becky now that I am done! Even though the other 2 shopaholics are cute too. Enjoy!

Summary: Loads of Fun!
Review: Last time we left Becky, she had moved to Mahattan on her own after a failed attempt to live with her boyfriend Luke in the Big Apple. Becky had finally stepped away from her career of Financial Advisor (which is good since Becky has the financial sense of a brain-damaged ape) and followed her true calling to be a personal shopper. This book begins with Becky and Luke living together again in New York. Becky is helping her best friend Suze plan her wedding and is happy with her life of shopping (and hiding the bills from Luke) and glamour. Her world suddenly changes when Luke proposes to her at Suze's wedding. Suddenly, before she knows it, both her mum and Luke's frigid mother are planning her a wedding, one in England and one in New York, on the same day. Unfortunately, Becky can't seem to tell either of them no. It only gets betters. This is the second Amazon.com purchase I made this month -- the other being THE LOSERS' CLUB by Richard Perez, about an unlucky writer addicted to the personals. I recommend both novels highly. Tremendous fun!

Summary: Yes, she's still our Becky!
Review: Becky's back and this time she's planning a wedding. Or having a wedding planned for her. Or rather, having TWO weddings planned for her! As always, we are privvy to her most private thoughts as she gets steamrollered by the wedding process, and as one who has been involved in her share of big, out-of-control/have-a-life-of-their-own nuptials, I loved it. I still don't quite believe the character of Elinor, which is too bad because the other characters are so carefully drawn. (I've always enjoyed the conversations between Mum and Dad; in this one my favorite is their debate over what caused hoof and mouth disease.) I read with amusement some of the less favorable reviews that said Becky was just as shallow as ever. Well, I for one am glad that Becky remains Becky because I enjoy her. And I wonder why people who don't enjoy the main character in a series would keep reading it. It reminds me of the old Woody Allen joke about the woman complaining about a restaurant, "Terrible food! And in such small portions!"
