Rating: 4 stars
Summary: In some ways better than the original
Review: In some ways I liked this book better than the first one. Trying to imagine her singing Madonna songs had me rolling and I loved the last few pages with her signing her Christmas cards. V.G.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the first!
Review: I'll admit it, I did see the movie before having interest in either of the "Bridget" books. I loved the movie so much that I immediately went to the bookstore and bought the first novel, which I liked, but I still preferred the movie. The novel just wasn't as laugh-out-loud funny as I expected after seeing the movie. I then went and bought "The Edge of Reason"- I couldn't help it, I had to know what happened to Bridget and Mark- and I fell in love with it. I have already reread my favorite parts several times, especially the kitchen scene (those who have read it know what I'm talking about). Here was a novel that was up to par with the movie. I first read it on an airplane on my way home from vacation, and I got several stares from those sitting near me because I would spontaneously start laughing aloud. For those who loved the first novel, don't miss the second; for those who loved the movie, don't miss the continuation!! You will laugh as much as you did in the theater.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the first one!
Review: I bought the audio version of this book as soon as I finished the first one "Bridget Jones's Diary". It is amazing how Helen Fielding can make the sequel better than the first one (which was great already). Tracie Bennett, again, is a very good narrator. This time someone is trying to destroy her relationship with Mark. Moreover, Bridget is accidently involved in a serious legal trouble. You will love the way she look at her life in the good side in every situations. Although the ending was predictable as usual, the story still kept me laughing all the time.At the end, You (and Bridget)will know (and love) Mark much more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bridget is back!!! (v.g.)
Review: Bridget is back and better than ever!! She has a boyfriend(v.g.), throws out her self-help books(tragic), gets put in prison(disaster!), and makes you laugh at least twice per page(v.g.) If you enjoyed the origianl, you'll love this!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the 1st
Review: This sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary is hilarious! It tends to go beyond the edge of reality at times, but I laughed throughout the entire book. Sequels are rarely as good as the original, but I think this one is even better! I can't wait for the third book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it
Review: Like Lisa, I saw the movie before I read the books and immediately wanted to buy the book (mostly to see how the ending differed from the book). I too ended up buying the sequel instead, but quickly went out to buy the original when I found the mistake. I read them both in sequence and loved the second one as an extension of the first. I was delighted to find shades of "Persuasion" in the sequel, which are more blatant than the shades of "PRide and Prejudice" in the first. How can I not love Helen Fielding when she seems to love Jane Austen as much as I do? Both books are quick reading. You will hardly realize time passing. Bridget and Mark Darcy are likely to enter my list of favorite literary characters.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Will she be Bridget Darcy????????
Review: I enjoyed this book just as much as "Bridget Jones's Diary". She finally got a man and a good one too. Who is tall, handsome, smart and rich ~ Mark Darcy. He is quite the ladies catch. Daniel Cleaver shows up in this book wanting Bridget back but only as his play thing, he finally got his comeuppance for being a rat.

She loves Mark Darcy and the good thing about it is he is crazy about Bridget [and loves her too] when he can have his pick of the liter he falls for Bridget. Bridget does run into some problems with a "friend" (and I say this loosely) named Rebecca, she is trying to get her talons into Mark, she is a snooty, backstabbing, wannabee who gets her comeuppance in the end.

Bridget does run into legal problems in this book. Also there is the funniest scene when she is going into Mark Darcy's bedroom and someone is on the bed..... I still laugh about this scene. I wish there was another book to read, I'm reading Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice" -- cannot get enough of Mark Darcy but in this book he is Mr. Darcy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Entertaining - great for reading while commuting
Review: If you only have a few minutes at a time for reading, as on the subway or bus, this is a great book (along with the original Bridget Jones Diary.)

I enjoyed the first book more as I felt I could relate more with the occurrences in Bridget's life. In this sequel, her life takes some unexpected and less reality based turns, which I found it difficult to relate to.

My one caution to this book is that, much like with the writings of Dr. Seuss, I found myself starting to think in the stilted thought bursts that Ms. Fielding writes in.

Overall, enjoyable, but not as groundbreaking or "real" as the original.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Bridget's Best
Review: This book is marvelous! I can't believe that everyone didn't give it 5 stars. I enjoyed this book even more than the first. To those that say this book has nothing new to offer, I say Gaah! I feel like I know Bridget, that she's one of my Singleton friends. I finished the book today and feel that I will miss her funny, sweet company. A great read for anyone looking for some laughs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Lackluster
Review: Although I was a fan of the first Bridget Jones, this simply retreads ground that Fielding covered in the first book. Where "Diary" had originality and wit, this book has nothing new to offer except for a degeneration into silliness. Bridget deserved better.
