Summary: stinking book leaves me aching from laughter-A man's review
Review: Alright.Phew.I know this is irrevelant..but,I made everybody I know read this book and the one before it and suprisingly enough everybody liked it so far.
I'm an average guy,you do the maths.It means I rarely read books,let alone a woman's journey for perfection.But i read it 4 times!!!it's hilarious and I'm in Love with Bridget!
She is just so naive at times.Who would mistake a bullet sent by someone who wants to kill you for lipstick or some kind of fancy pen.Or spend an entire interview with a star asking him about his wet shirt scene and trying to convince him his girlfriend's bad for him and then expecting a call congratulating her on a terrific interview from the newspaper.Once again,Trauma finds its way to Bridget's great new life with her love,Mark Darcy.Dragging along with it a hole in the wall,a guy her Mum's brought from South Africa,several parties to attend,(all of which she makes a fool out of herself in),her snobby boss,her friends marriage and TOTAL DISASTER,namely Rebecca,codenamed boyfriend stealing ...,who just tramples on bridget's private life with shoes that would cost half the price of Bridget's apartment when she steals Mark Darcy.Oh yeah,and the bullet she mistakes for lipstick or fancy pen.and she has other interviews she's messed up. And believe me,that's just the beggining,she also gets arrested in a foreign country.and a Ski Trip from [heck]. Sometimes,it feels like Bridget is clueless and you love her for that.She isn't bossy or "Strong",she's just lost.This book actually reminds me of the term "look at the bright side".This book is GREAT.It also amazes you how she could juggle all that and still manage to count her calories,cigarettes and whether she has a phantom baby.The main point in this book is,you could see it if you wipe the tears of mirth from your eyes for a sec,is that in order to get what she wants,Bridget has to be herself and not resort to her self help books like they are the rules of life.She throws them out in a chapter called "Mars and Venus in The DustBin".Reading the story,I could honestly say: Take A Bow Bridget,You Deserve it

Summary: No more ripping off Jane Austen
Review: Pure drivel. First book humorous, but this sequel is just derivitive of BJD and Jane Austen's Persuasion. I now don't even like Bridget. Nor do I get Mark Darcy. They certainly do not belong together. Helen Fielding and publishers were just trying to make money-although not from me, since I took this out of the library. I will not even read another Bridget Jones sequel.

Summary: Engrossing, Humerous, Passionate: Bridget Jones
Review: Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason is a captivating story about a woman in her early thirties. She is hard working, caring, unselfish, sometimes a little crazy, but without all these things she wouldn't be herself. She is Bridget Jones.
The title fits the book very well. It is about everything that she endures at work, listens to her friends problems, does her best, and still manages to keep a boyfriend some of the time at least).
Bridget seems to go through things that could happen to anyone, but are definitely not normal everyday thing. Some examples of this are having to track down barn animals at a 3-year-olds birthday party while still trying to impress and ex-boyfriend. She also has to ride a horse for the first time on live television. I won't give away everything, but you can understand how hectic and out of the ordinary her life is.
This book was very well written and it really absorbs you. So much, in fact, that you can barely stand to put it down. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an easy and enchanting book full of twists of humor, romance, friendship, loyalty, and an occasional battle of wits.

Summary: Don't think, just read
Review: The Bridget Jones books are the kind of thing that I like to call Brain Candy - it tastes good going down but too much and you've got an upset stomach. Bridget Jones' Diary, and Edge of Reason are two books you take to the beach or the pool, but not to be read as serious literature. It's chick fiction, but hey, no one died of a little chick fiction.

Summary: Hilariously funny
Review: I can't even imagine being in the situations Bridget seems to always find herself getting into. Sometimes she is a walking disaster and other times she saves the day. Each event is funnier than the previous one. She is forever in the most unimpressive situations when the one person she wants to impress the most is there. This sequel starts where the first leaves off with the beggings of her relationship with Mark Darcy. In true Bridget tradition, love does not last and Bridget turns to her self-help books and the advice of her well-meaning friends. Bridget can't seem to win at work and her freelanced Colin Firth interview is nothing short of a disaster, much to the readers amusement. She manages to get arrest for drug posession while vacationing in Thiland. But through it all, Bridget is strong and makes the best out of every situation. And it does have a happy ending. I really enjoyed the book. It reminds me of myself at times and of some friends of mine. We all go through similar things at some point in our lives where nothing seems to go our way, we live for the phone to ring, and our mother's drive us mad. This was just the next chapter in Bridget's life. I hope Helen Fielding will share the next chapter as well. I certainly find myself wanting more!

Summary: Liked it quite well but...
Review: ...it wasn't 100% on par with Bridget Jones' Diary. That said, I really did enjoy the book despite all the games poor Bridget went through, and the end was satisfying.

Summary: Better than the first!!
Review: The Edge of Reason proved to be good in all aspects. It totally fulfilled questions I had about what happened to Bridget after the first book. This book was worth reading and flew by. Anyone who wants to be entertained by a book should definetly check this one out!

Summary: Super!
Review: What a great book! Perhaps even better than the first one. Once again, Bridget takes us through life as she sees it. The characters are unforgettable. You can't keep from laughing while reading this book.

Summary: Fun read
Review: I read much of this book while working out on the eliptical machine at the gym and it really made me forget where I was and laugh out loud. And believe me, having a laughing outburst at the gym is worse than having one in the library! As sequels go this one cannot be missed. Rest assured, Bridget fans, you can hold it to the same standards as the first one. She's the same Bridget with the same personal crises and picadillos, but there's originality to it as well. This is not just a copy of Bridget Jone's Diary. Bridget evolves, and comically falls into the same ruts now and then. Since the movie isn't out yet this book is definately worth reading before hitting the theatres. Look for the chapter that has caused a dilemma in the film production: Colin Firth makes a cameo appearance as himself.

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: I love "Bridget Jones's Diary". It was one of the funniest books I had ever read. Immediately upon finishing it, I ran to the store for the sequel. I was, however, greatly dissapointed. "The Edge of Reason" did possess all of the quirkiness and neuroses that made me love the first book, but several story lines were outlandish, and frankly hard to read. At times, it was downright ridiculous. I would recommend this book for an enjoyable read, but be forewarned that it fails in comparison to the original.
