Summary: "Edge of Reason" is v.g. Hurrah!!!
Review: Poor Bridget Jones, she just can't win for losing. First she gets her man, Mark Darcy, then she loses him to Rebecca, a woman with baby giraffe thighs, who aside from having absolutely no girlfriend etiquette whatsoever, decides to steal Bridget's friends as well. And to make matters worse, her ex boyfriend Daniel Cleaver decides it's time to worm his way back into Bridget's life. Will she get back with Daniel or will Mark come to his senses and see that Bridget is the woman he loves and needs? Aside from Bridget's love life, other crazy events seem to be unfolding around her every second. First her mother and Auntie Una bring back a tribesman with them from Africa. This, of course, forces Bridget's father Colin into taking up drinking in the shed outside. Second, while on a trip with Shazzer to Thailand, Bridget unknowingly traffics cocaine at the airport and ends up in a nasty prison where she must fend off lesbians and sing Madonna songs for survival. And last but not least, Bridget gets a mysterious death threat and is forced to leave her apartment and go into hiding. Oh yes, who can forget her interview with the sexy Colin Firth (the original Mr. Darcy) where Bridget constantly asks about his wet shirt and his Italian girlfriend? It's hilarious!!! Her friends also seem to be having a weird year as well: Tom is between London and San Francisco(and boyfriends), Jude and Vile Richard are FINALLY getting married, and Shazzer, the most staunch of feminists, is...GASP...in love!! And during all of this our little Bridget is alone and heartbroken over Mark Darcy. I don't think that Helen Fielding could've handed us a better Bridget book if she tried. This one was so wonderful! We've already fell in love with these characters and it's nice to see theirs lives and loves progress another year forward. After reading "Edge of Reason", I was nothing short of blown away. I found myself laughing hysterically, crying, and banging my hands on the couch in anger as Bridget takes us through another year of her life. I also found myself wanting to shake some sense into Mark and wrap my fingers around Rebecca's neck until her boney little face turned blue. Coniving wench! What I enjoyed most about "Edge of Reason" was Bridget's progression into a woman in complete control of her life. She finally realizes that no amount of counting calories, cigs, or pounds will ever equal happiness. Being yourself is all that matters and those who really love you will see this as well and love you all the more for it. I recommend this book to anyone who's already read "Bridget Jones' Diary". I hope that Helen Fielding decides to grace us with another Bridget book soon. We just can't get enough of her. Gennie Bailey-Rogers

Summary: Fun, Flighty & Funny - Again!
Review: Loved both the Bridget books. This one didn't suffer being the sequel. I laughed out loud at some of the scenes. I stay up and read in bed on weekend nights - I woke my husband up laughing so hard at this one! The author has a really visual sense of humour. The story was good and it moved quickly. Really fun.

Summary: Another WINNER
Review: This book is great. I would actually venture to say on par with her first Bridget Jones novel. Bridget goes though similar problems from the first book - as well as some VERY different problems. She as always over analyzes everything. Messes a lot of stuff up. And yet keeps moving forward. If you liked the first book you will love the second. A must read for any Bridget fan.

Summary: Definately Disappointed
Review: After reading "Bridget Jones' Diary" (which I HIGHLY recommend), I was thrilled to learn that Helen Fielding had written "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" as a sequel! After reading it, I was definately disappointed. Although this book is filled with Bridget's quirky insight and tendency to find herself in comical situations, I found that some instances where too over-the-top. I think the author tried too hard by making Bridget even more forgetful, klutzy and irresponsible - so much so, that I found it so annoying at times that I would put the book down. That was opposite the case while reading "Bridget Jone's Diary", I LOL and couldn't seem to put it down! But good ol' Bridget: she's still counting her... bad thoughts, good thoughts, and recording her weight on a daily basis! Regardless of my above comments (a.k.a. warnings) Bridget is still great - but this book isn't worthy of 5 stars!

Summary: What a great read!
Review: I laughed my head off while reading this book. It's absolutely hillarious. Fielding definitely has a wonderful sense of humor. Briget is such a likable character. She's every woman. What she thinks about, I have thought about. It is so refreshing to see a woman be normal. Fielding goes into more detail with Briget's and Darcy's relationship, too. There are some very funny scenes in this book that really knock your socks off. I know that this is unthinkable, but this is better than the first. Enjoy it and be prepared to laugh, cry, and lust (after Mr. Darcy that is).

Summary: Like Fidelity is for men....
Review: Such a perfect account of the signleton's life, in London or the US. All of her personal issues are real and everyday worries for so many women. And haven't we all been embarassed in front of many, said the wrong thing, sought the wrong guy, and so on. She's just so honest about it. Great book.

Summary: Instead of bedtime reading, it became early morning reading.
Review: For those who thought that the original was funny, this one is HI-LARIOUS!!! I just could not put it down, and when I would constantly wake up my boyfriend with raucous laughter, I had no one to blame but Bridget and Colin Firth.

Summary: Smashing!
Review: I have to admit, before I saw the movie, I had not read "Diary". After I saw the movie I was dying! WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES AND COLIN FIRTH!! opps...hello back to the real world. Well after looking on amazon, to my delight I could read what happened with my favorite British chick and my man Colin-I mean Mark Darcy. I was not disappointed. If anything, it made me wish I had read the first installment first. I loved the minute bliss Bridget had until her normal misadventures began! A boy in Mark Darcy's bed! v.bad Landing in jail due to looking for a man! v.funny. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh.
