Summary: The First Book is a million times better
Review: When I read the first book I liked it so much that I rushed out to ge the second right away. I was rally dissappoionted, this book took me weeks just to finish because I didn't like it. I thought is wa completely unrealistic and it just could have been a lot better than it was.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: The journalistic style that Helen Fielding has carried on from the first book of Bridget is genius. I felt like I had walked into Bridget's bedroom and sat down with her diary to invade her life. Fielding has written what singletons think about but never dare to say. From the tremendous hatred of married people to the obsessive acts of torture one endures to get a man, Fielding has let it all out. Bridget's ability to get herself in the most peculiar circumstances leaves the reader laughing out loud. Some of the situations are just a little overboard. Besides the outright absurdity, I enjoyed reading Fielding's novel. The first of the Bridget journals gave the second too much to live up to in my opinion. However, the novel is still worth the little time it takes to breeze through this easy reading novel and encounter the madness of Bridget's world.

Summary: she set a trend but she's still immature and annoying!
Review: Bridget Jones' Diary would read much better if it wasn't set up like an actual diary i.e. each entry starts with how much she weighed, how many units of alcohol she has consumed, how many cigarettes she's smoked, etc. Other than that, reading the book is highly amusing, though at times I would get depressed about how childishly impetuous she is. She would get into far fewer painful situations if she just thought them through every now and then. Watching her make the same mistakes each and every time was a bit annoying after a while. And her main goal was always finding and getting a man. But she did set the mold for all the Brit-chick books that followed, and a lot of them built on the same formula and came up with some great stories. So Fielding and Bridget get a lot of credit, no matter if you really liked BJD or not. Think about it - "Bridget Jones" is a new cultural buzzword -- everyone knows who she is and what she stands for. That in itself makes this a pretty great book.

Summary: Can't Wait for the Movie
Review: I had an extremely difficult time getting through the first half of this book. I wanted to scream - Bridget, stop listening to your stupid friends! Mark Darcy is the man of your dreams! But I guess that is the whole point of the book as you will see in the end. The ending was fantastic - even though I nearly bailed out half way through - I'm so glad I perservered. I can't wait for the movie!!

Summary: Bridget Jones is back again with more troubles.
Review: I had read the first book and loved it. This one just wasn't as good as the other one. Bridget is back and this time she is with Mark and she starts up a whole bunch of new problems. I loved her friends Shazzer and Jude and of course all the other people who she comes into contact with. The book at times got to be to long descriptive for me. there were parts that I skimmed over because I just didn't feel like reading the entire paragrah. The parts that I loved were her interview with Colin Firth and of course her adventure in Thailand. Overall I hope that possibly there will be another installment of her Diarys... I would love to read more about her and her life.

Summary: no comparison to the 1st .... too far fetched
Review: i read bridget jones long before the movie ... loved bridget jones for it's originality and freshness; it got me hooked on english books of same genre .. looked forward to this 2nd release ... fun, light read ... too far fetched ... looking for good relationship books about "singletons"? try marian keyes or lisa jewel .. both excellent, enjoyable authors who you can't put down and whose stories you won't forget

Summary: I liked it a lot!!!
Review: I was one of those who saw and loved the movie Bridget Jones's Diary and have watched it at least ten times but unfortunately never read the novel. After reading The Edge of Reason I got a real glimpse at all the characters lives, especially Magda and Jeremy as well as "vile" Richard which were barely touched upon in the movie and found this novel to a really good read as it filled in a lot of pieces I missed from the movie. The adventures of Bridget, her friends and family are quite amusing and a lot of fun. I will admit the one problem I experienced throughout the novel was trying to figure out some of the "English" jargon but other than that I really liked this novel and have already read it twice.

Summary: It was cute
Review: Although I have seen the movie I have not read the first book so I can't really compare the two, only the story.
I thought it was a pleasant read, I read it in only three sittings over three days but at points it kinda did drag a little.
Some parts in it were a bit absurd but I guess that's the appeal of Bridget Jones!! At times I was really laughing :) so if you do like the movie or the first book you might wanna read this.
I didn't find this necessarily better than the first story but I think it could have been a bit better.
I just wish there was a third book because the story does leave you hanging... and i hate when that happens!

Summary: Better Than the First
Review: The Sequal to the famout Bridet Jones's Diary is even better than the first! She gets into even more akward situations than before! Guarenteed to make you laugh twice as hard as you did in the first one!

Summary: More of the same -- and that's good
Review: This one picks up shortly after the end of the first book, and continues on the same vein. Our heroine is still tallying all the previous day's good deeds, bad indulgences, and justifying how all of this falls into her master plan. I'm not positive, but I don't think she makes it to the gym once in the sequel. But Bridget does find a way to lose lots of pounds during the book. While on a trip overseas, she is falsely imprisoned for several weeks, and is forced on the diet she can't discipline herself to do on her own. Upon her release, she's proud of her weight, and is determined to keep it off. Can she do it? Well, can she at least keep it off until the holiday season? If I were a real journalist, I'd dig more into the timeline of when this book was written, and when the movie was being made. As those who have seen the movie know, Colin Firth played Mark Darcy. Well, the actual Colin Firth is a character in this sequel, and Bridget's interview with him is as hilarious as you can imagine. Now, which came first, the making of the movie or the writing of the second book? Did one influence the other, or is it coincidence? Actually, I'm not staying awake nights not knowing this, but the question occasionally pops up in my mind. Anyway, good stuff.
