Summary: Where's the Next Book?
Review: This sequel to Bridget's Diary is as good as, if not better than, the first and has me thoroughly addicted to the relationship-challenged thirty-something London-er.In the beginning of this book, Bridget has good friends, a boyfriend (finally!), a decent job, and a nice flat in London. But Bridget, being Bridget, finds herself in the midst of a feud with a good friend (who is moving from Singleton into life as a Smug Married by planning to wed Vile Richard), minus a boyfriend (evidently captured by the awful Rebecca, an absolutely perfect slim and trendy blonde with no qualms about stealing someone's man). Her mother's off with yet another foreign man, Gary the contracter has left a huge hole in one of Bridget's apartment walls, her dream job comes with an insane boss, the weight goes up, the weight goes down and that relaxing exotic vacation ends up more like Midnight Express than Stella Finds Her Groove. Relying on all the self-help books she owns (and she owns them all), Bridget still struggles, crashes and burns. Her life is humorous largely because it is strangely familiar to single women (of all ages). Her wants, desires, and worries are universal to women of all ages and time periods -- the books are modern-inized versions of Pride and Prejudice and Persuasian. Read them both, then join those of us who are waiting for the next book (and the movie and the tube version).

Summary: All Hail Miss Jones!
Review: In this sequel to "Bridget Jones' Diary", Helen Fielding proves there is more fun and laughter in neuroses. Bridge is still obsessing over each stone she puts on, and worrying whether being a "Singleton" proves that she will die alone. What's a girl to do when every invite to a party means having to put up with Smug Marrieds? Bridge grabs a glass and leaps in to deal with them all. Her friends Shazzer and Jude are in for the ride too, to provide that special brand of support. Ah, but here her life begins to change: is there a place for her is front of the telly? Who is that young tribesman with her Mum? Does Mark Darcy really mean to leave her for the Asian houseboy? Answering these burning questions is worth the price of the book, alone. It is worth it the debut "Bridget Jones' Diary" to get the background on Miss Jones and her gang, but not necessary. For a good laugh, curl up by that winter fire and crack open this book.

Summary: Better than the first!
Review: I very much enjoyed Bridget Jones's Diary. As a Smug Married, I could relate to Bridget even more in this book about her relationship to Mr. Darcy. She still gives her readers lots to laugh about and I was glad to see she was still her neurotic self after she got her man. This was funnier and even more enjoyable than the first book.

Summary: Just as excellent as the first!
Review: I wasn't sure if Helen Fielding would maintain the same level of excellency that she achieved in the first Bridget Jones but she did! This book is hilarious and starts up where the last one left off. I won't give away the plot or any of Bridget's, Jude's or Shazzer's antics so buy the book! You won't be disappointed.

Summary: Yipee! She's back!
Review: Briget is back and ready for new crazy adventures. The Londoner singleton is still hunting for the perfect man. This novel is simply delicious. It's an unputdownable, and unlike other sequels equals the first novel. I've laughed so many times that I can't even count them. Though this novel tends to be unrealistic at times, I can assure you that you will spend a yummy moment following Bridget in the discovery of true love, if there really is such a thing... So get ready for a wild time and a good laugh. Don't miss it! Get it NOW!

Summary: Like most sequels...
Review: This may have been better had i not read the first one.A few funny moments- i nearly wet myself over the Christmas cards- but unfortunatly a bit too few and far between.The desire to tell her to get her act together and stop being so self obsorbed was stronger this time too. But otherwise a pleasant way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Summary: I was Persuaded
Review: Wasn't sure if I would like this installment as much as the first but I can't deny that I laughed out loud just as much this time. My favorite moment, though, was when I realized that Fielding was doing a gloss on another of my favorite Austen books, Persuasion. Actually I had just watched the wonderful film version on TV the night before I started the book and couldn't miss the parallels (of course if I had paid attention to the reviews I might have realized sooner and picked up the book before it became paperback). Anyway, a truly diverting read. Am looking forward to Helen Fielding's next hilarious book. And of course there's always the much-anticipated movie of Bridget Jones where we can watch poor Bridget embarrass herself over Mark Darcy all over again!

Summary: Bridget--back and better!
Review: I must admit that although I enjoyed the first Bridget Jones novel--the blue string/capon fiasco was priceless--I wasn't sure it lived up to the hype. Perhaps not having such high expectations with "The Edge of Reason," I actually found it better! I suspect its because we simply know her better. additionally, there is more action--the Thai prison/Madonna impersonation scene had me laughing out loud--and she gains a bit, but hopefully not too much, of self-awareness this time--through something other than her many self-help books. Its a charming light read, and, perhaps an even better audio book selection!

Summary: V. good!
Review: Wow! Helen Fielding is an expert on comedy and irony. I thought she couldn't possibly pull off a sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary. Boy, was I wrong! Bridget is funnier than ever! I love the whole Bridget, Mark Darcy and Rebecca love triangle, very amusing! Are you looking for a laugh? Read Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason. But you should definitely read the original.

Summary: Good, but not as good as the first
Review: Upon hearing there was a sequel to Bridget Jones I immediately rushed out to purshase it. Though on the whole it was a good read, it missed the same sense of humor that the first on poessessed. Perhaps it is because Bridget has somewhat settled into living with Mark, and I felt she became too mature too quickly. However, there were the few humurous moments that kept me reading on. Overall it was just a good read, but disappointing compared to the first.
