Summary: The Best of the Series!
Review: The whole shopaholic trilogy is absolutely hilarious, but this one, really, I was laughing so loud that I felt stupid, but then it's good to unwind and have fun a little and give a little break to more deeply novels.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ...And the Knot in my stomach...
Review: While enjoy Becky's adventure and find the book a great read. I was still a little disappointed. For someone who took a bold step in the last book and someone who is willing to spend ALL her money on clothes, she couldn't stand up to Luke's mother. Other than that minor, but yet major annoyance, the book was fantastic and I hope that just because Becky is marrried now that her adventures and trials of shopping don't end!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who says books can't be mindless and fun
Review: If you're looking for a life-changing work of literature, Sophie Kinsella may not be the author of choice. However, if you're seeking a well written read with hints of British flare, this book will definately fulfill your cravings. If you fell in love with Becky in the first two I doubt you will need me to urge you to buy this one as well. (In fact if this describes you you're probably reading my review to find the satisfaction of reading other reviews from people who are as addicted to Sophie Kinsella's books as you are.) However if you haven't read any, I suggest starting from the beginning. The first book is the funniest in the series in my opinon and makes it difficult to resist keeping up with Becky's misadventures. The books are fantastic because Kinsella is able to latch on to many common female characteristics and integrate them into a seamless tale that's both humorous and easy to relate to. It's a fabulous book for any woman that reads Vogue religiously, lusting after the newest Prada handback or the latest Vera Wang. That doesn't mean, however, you have to be a obsessed with haute couture or shopping sprees in order to delight in a mindless afternoon with Becky. Even my college roommate, who often criticizes my spending habits and doesn't obsess about fashion or shopping, refused to be interrupted while reading about Becky. The bottom line: Kinsella's latest book is so much fun you'll eagerly pass it off to friends when you're done so you can all laugh about how much you saw yourself in Becky.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a typo!
Review: In response to some reviewers who have suggested that the wedding dates were a typographical error: this is not the case. If you do the time conversion, Kinsella chose the dates and times that she did in order to make Becky's eventual solution possible.

If Kinsella had indeed made the dates exactly the same, e.g. June 21, Becky would have had to choose the opposite solution, which would have been possible too, but less plausible and less emotionally satisfying.

Of course, it is also slightly implausible that Becky was freaking out even when the dates were the 21st and the 22nd...but chalk it up to her being accustomed to travelling back and forth between continents, and "losing" or "gaining" a day.

Clearly I love Becky's character, and all of her dearly beloveds, else I wouldn't be up at 4:17am defending her and her story! :) Sophie, thank you ever so much for this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BECKY GETS MARRIED!
Review: As soon as I finished Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, if left me with a HUGE question so I had to start reading this right away! Suze gets married first and Becky is to proposed to in the most adorable way ever! I loved it! Becky get's a little better with her shopping problems... BUT! She can't decide which country to have her wedding, so two are being planned. And you can only expect Becky to want more than one wedding dress!

I've absolutely loved all three of Kinsella's books... I'm disappointed to discover this is the last about Becky (at least for now I HOPE). This book was the easiest read of the three, I couldn't put it down- finished it in 2 days.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The saga continues
Review: I wonder if I enjoy the Shopaholic series so much because I see myself in every page? Yes, I too hide bank statements, hide bills, just hoping that they will go away! This book lives up to the standards set by the previous two. If you liked those, this one won't disappoint.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good effort but not particularly memorable...
Review: ....I breezed through Becky's ups and down and shopping escapades, although as someone who spent little on her (vintage) wedding dress, i couldnt always relate. Kinsella has found a groove and is milking it nicely -- but there are so many better reads out there. I loved The Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing (Bank), Bridget Jones Diary (Fielding) , and Otherwise Engaged (Finnamore). they stayed with me much longer, and are better written, as well as uproariously funny and wicked.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Stale idea
Review: The first book Confessions of a Shopaholic was amusing and fun and creative. But it's the third strike and she's out on this one...I thought the book was silly and boring. If you liked the first two books you would like this one simply because you want to know how everything turns out and because Becky Bloomwood is such a likeable character. But if you're picking this book up without having read the first two, don't bother. It will come across as mindless dribble.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Becky's Back and this time she is getting hitched.
Review: Becky Bloomwood is back again, and this time she is in debt and swimming in hiding her shopping from anyone. This time she is finally getting married. But for Becky there is nothing simple in her life.

When Luke asks Becky to marry her she thinks that she will get married back in London and have a grand affair. Well as she starts to plan that out she finds out that Luke's mother wants her to have her grand affair in the States.

With all this planning going Becky feels like she is in way over her head. She is set to have two weddings on the same day and in two different continents. She feels like she can't disapoint anyone with this wedding. But as time goes on and Becky hasn't made her full decision on where she is going to have the wedding and she starts to worry what will happen.

The friends of her were a good laugh, from Danny, Suze, Luke, Michael and all the rest of her friends. They helped Becky figure things out in her life and make her realize she had to make a desicsion and that she had to do it soon.

This book wasn't as predictiable as her other ones but it still left you wondering what would happen. This didn't focus on her shopping but more on the wedding and Luke.

Overall this was a great book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of fun, warmth, and general hysteria
Review: I couldn't put this book down. What alot of fun. The conclusion is ingenious.

Beneath it all is a sensitivity and honesty about women, men, and what's important.

More, Sophie, more!
