Summary: Not as Good as the First
Review: The thing that was SO funny about the first BJD was how Feilding treated the mundane moments of BJ's life. There were many laugh out loud moments that dealt with something as small as her failed diet, reasons for smoking and the people in her life (Smug Married or Singltons.) The problem with this book is that it has BJ get herself into a number of implausible situations. (Getting arrested in Thailand, interviewing Colin Firth, etc) It took away the humor of the actual diary and turned it into a fantasy adventure. While some may like the action, I missed the everyday life of BJ struggling with her job, weight, smoking, eating, desperation, self-help books and men. All that was lost in between crises. Not a bad book but not BJD either.

Summary: Better than the original
Review: I saw the movie first and immediately wanted to read the books. I went to a store and picked up what I thought was "Bridget Jone's Diary" But when I looked closer, I saw it was actually the sequel "The Edge of Reason" I intially felt disappointed, but then figured I could read the orginal later (since I had already seen the movie and knew the basic storyline) Once I started "The Edge of Reason", I couldn't put it down. I found myself laughing all the way through. This book is a very easy, enjoyable read. I read it in a single sitting. I have also since read "Bridget Jone's Diary" which I also enjoyed very much. But I found that I liked the sequel even better than the orginal. Which is surprising, considering that only rarely are sequels as good as the orginal. If you liked "Bridget Jone's Diary" (and even if you didn't) I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Minutes since read this book, 1440......
Review: I had to have this book after reading the first diary! I devoured it in about 2 nights. Bridget definitely has her hands full in this novel. I loved every minute but couldn't help skipping ahead a few times to see what was coming up. I never do that as a rule but just couldn't resist it with this book. I have even gone back and reread my favorite parts several times.V. good book! Excellent example of Singleton way of life! Hurrah for Bridget!!! We want more!!! (especially with Mark)

Summary: Anybody got a copy of Colin Firth in BBC's P&P? :)
Review: This book was even better than the first one! It had me in stitches! As usual, Bridget is constantly struggling with work, her (keeping her) boyfriend, (losing) weight, (quitting) smoking and (quitting) drinking. One thing that was much more evident in The Edge of Reason than BJD was the way Fielding shines in writing about normal things. She really makes them seem spectacular. I have to admit that my favorite part was Bridget's interview with her favorite actor--and wearer of wet, white shirts--Colin Firth. I was literally laughing aloud. The book is worth it just for that part alone! Also memorable is Bridget's stint in jail. Women all over will relate to Bridget. Great fun!

Summary: Bridget is back (hurrah!)
Review: I began reading this book with low expectations-- it's not often that a sequel is as good or better than the original. However, this book is at least as equally hilarious, charming, and captivating as Fielding's first novel. The story picks up where the first left off: with Mark Darcy and Bridget very much in love. This book also follows Bridget through her entire year-- and what a year it is! I was pleased to discover Fielding brought back nearly all of the original's characters-- from Daniel Cleaver to schemeing Rebecca to Richard Finch, the boss from hell. Note to self: do not read the "interview" scene when you are supposed to be quiet ( i.e. in a library). It is so positively hysterical, you won't be able to choke back your giggles.

Summary: Hurrah! Bridget back, v.g.
Review: Number of times read book: 15 (uh-oh becoming obsessive Bridget Jones-type person. Oh God even talking like her!) Number of times laughed out loud:79 (Gaaah but v.g book) Hurrah! Another Bridget Jones book (v.g) and love it. Even better than prequel, made me cry and laugh. A bit less credible than first book, Bridget in jail, not v.likely but still v.funny. Scenes toward end with Mark Darcy (aah) v.emotional as well as amusing. Book v.g if you like first book, will like this. Easy to read and happy ending. Throw out those self-help books now!!!! Love it. PS In case people have not a clue what I was talking about, I was trying to write in the style of Bridget. Reading that style in the book is not as annoying as it may seem. Don't buy this for its literary value, buy it to laugh and cry and realize that (oh my God) I am Bridget Jones. Only bad bit of book was that I couldn't understand the bits when she was writing the diary having had one too many Chardonnays (what does she mean 'argor'?). But apart from that, I enjoyed it and had fun. V.g

Summary: Skip the sequel
Review: As a fan of the first novel, I was anxious to read Fielding's sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary. I found her follow up very disappointing. While there were a few funny moments that almost every woman could relate to, this installment of her diary was filled with the most insane events. The strength and appeal of the first book was that it Bridget's life seemed to mirror the lives of so many women. However, this book makes one believe that Fielding was desperate for something to give Bridget to do.

Summary: Sequel Is Superb
Review: Its not very often that a seuel is as good as the original but i have to say that this one outshines the first. The story comtinues with Bridget and Mark Darcy very much in love when due to interfence and many problems they split. This book is so good im trying hard to explain it without giving the story away. Trust me if you liked the first you will love this one, as its just as funny, loving and heart wrenching as the other. It has buy me written all over it

Summary: Silly
Review: I really wanted to like this book and forced myself to finish it, but was very disappointed. I found the diary style distracting, the characters self involved and one dimensional, and the story line extremely silly. Sorry, I see that everyone seems to love these novels, I just don't.

Summary: Simply hilarious!
Review: In short, this is the best sequel I've read. It's witty, honest, warm and romantic.
