Summary: So much better than the first.
Review: I found the first Bridget Jones Diary book a bit hard to take, but the second had me in stiches. For anyone who has a crush on Collin Firth (and who doesn't?) the interview seen alone is worth the entire book.

Summary: Funny, funny, funny
Review: As Homer Simpson said "It's funny because it's true!" This story of an urban woman hits the mark.

Summary: A great sequel to a great chick flick
Review: It was excellent getting to read even more funny adventures of Bridget. It is always great reading sequels, it is like having a happy reunion with some good friends. Sequels bring back good memories (with books, the memories are from the previous novel). There is a wonderful essence about sequels. This sequel impaticular, was a great one, one a person can read a thousand times.
It was different from the first one because it was more fun. It wasn't better or worse, it was just different because we got to see a more detailed version of Bridget with an actual relationship (as opposed to her meaningless "romance" with Daniel Cleaver in the first novel). We got further into seeing her with a career in television and with her family, although still crazy, is not falling apart with divorce. The Thailand extravaganza was a really fun thing, something some of us would like to laugh about, imagining ourselves with our girlfriends in the same situation.
'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' , overall, was a very fun novel to read,a perfect addition to the first novel, starring our favourite heroin, the one we can relate to.

Summary: Better than the first Bridget Jones book
Review: I was somewhat reluctant to read this book because I had to make myself finish the first book, but this one was suprisingly decent.

Summary: More than delightful!
Review: In this book, there is one thing that is worth pondering upon: when we are overwhelmed by our sense of insecurity, do we not make our judgment based on the understanding of the characters and situations but rather on the fear of losing one's ego? And in fact, when insecurity comes to attack us, few can escape from that fate. However, if we have found our true love, no matter how mischievously fate has acted upon us, we would eventually come around, let go of the fear and embrace our good luck with a full heart. I love the metaphor of Velveteen Rabbit. In real life, don't we all feel the love and anguish just like that little Velveteen Rabbit?

Summary: Similar to the first but something more.
Review: I had a great time reading the sequal to Bridget Jones' Diary. There were a few passages where I found myself laughing out loud (but perhaps fewer than the first novel) and that is always a pleasure! This novel explores Bridget's slow evolution into a more mature, "grownup". Some loose ties concerning previous characters are resolved and all for the best. This is a feel good book!
Perhaps what I enjoyed the most were the mere hints of romance in this book, i.e the looks on Mark Darcy's face that Bridget remarks upon but doesn't seem to realize the full context of,...really worked for me. I was involved in the love story, not just in the zaniness of the Bridget's day-to-day life.
I recommend this book and its predecessor for women of all ages, for both singles and "smug-marrieds" often question the validity and sincerity of their relationships, as does Bridget.

Summary: As funny as the first
Review: I was excited to read this book after having finished the first one. I absolutely love the relationship between Bridget and Mark. He is such a tiger under all that hard, cold aloof exterior, as portrayed in the 1st book and in the movie, (which Colin Firth played wonderfully). Bridget is exactly what he needs, someone who can show him the bright, fun side of the world. She never fails to make me laugh, especially the horse incident at the beginning (as with the fireman's pole in "Diary"). This is not a sequel, merely a continuation. Fielding once again writes brilliantly. If you liked Diary, you will love and laugh once again! It's wonderful to see Bridget so happy!

Summary: Another Bridget Jones Novel!
Review: Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones: the edge of reason" is the sequel to the popular book "Bridget Jones' Diary". The
2nd book continues where the first left off. Bridget is now dating Mark Darcy and is in heaven. However, things
soon turn for the worse. She's having troubles at work, still has doubts about Mark Darcy, and other problems
take over her life, including a home remodelling gone wrong.Her mother in the meantime has gone to Africa and brought back a native. Her father has started to drink a lot. And a so-called friend, Rebecca, tries to steal Mark away from Bridget, which at one point causes her to turn to Daniel Cleaver, ex boss and ex boyfriend from the first book. Throw in a trip to Thailand, and you've got another wonderful Bridget Jones' novel. I found this sequel as good as the first. I love the characters and I am wanting more after I am done reading these books. I would definitely read another sequel and am looking forward to the next movie, too!
