Summary: ANOTHER GREAT BOOK
Review: If you read and enjoyed Bridget Jones' Diary, then you MUST read this book. This novel picks up where we Bridget Jones' Diary left us. It is still refreshingly funny! A book for Singletons and Smug Marrieds alike! I finished this book in one day. I just couldn't put it down.

Summary: As Good as the Original
Review: Who says sequels are never as good as the original. Edge of Reason contains all of the wit, satire and, yes, originality of Bridget Jones' Diary. Bridget Jones is such a memorable and likeable character that it's impossible not to be engaged by Ms. Fielding's works. She has created an entirely entertaining and fresh look at the whole thirty something singleton scene. Along with Fried Calamari and Shopgirl, this is the best book I've read in the past year. Now, we'll have to wait and see if the movie version of Bridget Jones' Diary can live up to it's lofty expectations.

Summary: Brilliant Brit.
Review: I read The Edge of Reason not knowing there was a first Bridget Jones Diary. Well I still haven't got around to reading the first so I really can't compare the two but I absolutely loved The Edge of Reason. It was simply amazing it was everything I would want to say without being able to say it. Of course, I know most of you experienced the thinking in fragments just as Bridget Jones wrote her diary.(I had the same experience!) I found myself in her diary. She was neurotic, vulnerable, and unbearably head strong. At some points you find yourself thinking she is totally overreacting and then thinking, I would have done that. I've found someone who thinks just like me. It was great. So if you like reading books that are very girly and a little bit silly you will love this book! I am American but this gave me so much new respect for the English people. Now I can't wait to go London! I highly reccomend this book.

Summary: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason"
Review: I read both Bridget Jones books while on vacation recently and loved them both. I'm a 30 something who has been married a long time so it didn't reflect my life, but I could have sworn my sister was one of Bridget's friends. Over the years I've listened to numerous conversations concerning intimate e-mails, feng shui, home renovations, etc. Getting inside Bridget's comical brain was a lot more fun! What I liked about "The Edge of Reason" was that it was not more of the same--it was Bridget PLUS. The situations were bigger, funnier, and also more outrageous (monkeys in bed???). It's not Shakespeare but it is an engaging and fun read. Great for the beach.

Summary: Bridget is pathetic

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Up for another dose of bridget and her pals? You will love this book, it's funny and touching. Fielding once again takes the reader into Bridget's somewhat unorganized and caotic lifestyle. You will laugh at how Fielding makes the everday ordinary absolutely hilarious! Edge of Reason takes off right where Bridget Jones's Diary ends. Bridget and Mark Darcy are together but keep reading to find out what happens with them. The cast is once again funny and their everyday antics will have you laughing uncontrollably! This was an excellent book to read. I loved Bridget Jones's Diary, but this was so much better!

Summary: Two much of a good thing
Review: I read Bridget Jones' Diary quite a while back and had been hoarding this book for ages, looking for just the right amount of uninterrupted reading space. Sad to say, it wasn't quite the 'unputdownable' book I'd expected it to be. It started off on the right note, but soon began dragging unbearably. The gaffes began to seem awfully repetitive -- one just had to imagine the worst-case scenario and our heroine was right there. Also, the book could have done with some heavy editing, maybe in the middle months? It's reading value would have gone up considerably had it been around 30 pages shorter. They do say sequels rarely live up to their predecessors. Sad to say, this one only reinforces that feeling.

Summary: VVG!!
Review: Even better than "Bridget Jones' Diary"! Loosely based on Jane Austen's "Persuasion," "The Edge of Reason" had me laughing out loud in a way that I hadn't in years. Even though I am married (though I hope not smug!), I can relate to Bridget and thoroughly enjoyed her outlook on life. Read "Persuasion" first, then reserve a couple of evenings to sit down and enjoy this book.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious!!
Review: I read this book from beginning to end on a 10 hour flight from England to Los Angeles. I laughed my socks off. I don't want to say that this book is just "for the girls", but it does poke fun at some of our everyday crisis i.e. does my bum look too big in this?, why do I weigh more than I did yesterday and the all too emotional rollercoasters with our mothers. I love the relationship issues Bridget has with boyfriends, the paranoias that we all go through at the beginning of any new relationship. I would love my husband to read it. I must say that the ending was a little far fetched, but the build-up to it was pure brilliance. There is not much else to say except GO AND GET IT you will love it.
