Summary: Fun!
Review: This is no great work of literature, in style and content both. My main gripe with the former is the narrator's tendency to lapse (and lazily so) into shorthand accounts - "For four weeks and five days now have been in functional relationship with adult male thereby proving am not love pariah as previously feared". It might engender realism but makes the flow of reading difficult. With the latter, it's the one-dimensional characters who take up their stock roles with gusto (Evil Boyfriend-Stealer, Wacky and Worrisome Mother, Supportive Advice-Giving Food-Bringing Best Friends) and the out-of-this-world twists and turns in the plot. Still, such a book requires a certain suspension of disbelief for true enjoyment; and within its genre, it's among the best for sustainability of reader interest and humour. Bridget as a character is very sympathetic, if somewhat unbelievable with her extraordinary bouts of stupidity that no educated working adult could possibly suffer from. She's genuinely nice, very funny and the underdog - it works everytime. Mark Darcy *must* be the perfect guy; allusions to Mr Darcy from good old 'Pride and Prejudice' are obvious, and writing in Colin Firth as a 'guest star' is both clever and hilarious. The book even ends happily ever after (and, strangely enough, starts that way as well). It's easy reading and it makes one laugh out loud; perfect for a fun, frothy and mindless read.

Summary: Faster and Fastest
Review: A nice, fast read. I read both diaries and though I found this one less memorable than the first, it is far from offensive. Best to read while driving or at work. Concentration is not essential.

Summary: V.G.
Review: Loved it! Just as funny and delightful as the first! Still in love with Bridget & Mark Darcy, although wish could have had more of them! So depressed when book ended, felt like a friend left me behind!

Summary: Even Better than the First!
Review: If you loved Bridget in her first novel, you will adore her in this one! Bridget and company are even more hilarious and get into more outrageous situations than you can imagine. She'll keep you in stitches for weeks to come! Once again, Ms. Fielding creates sympathetic characters that are larger than life. Looking forward to the next installment?

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Even better than the first Bridget Jones book. I kept waiting for the diary format to get on my nerves, but it never did. I found myself having to put the book down because I was laughing so hard. Excellent!

Summary: Surprisingly good sequel
Review: I'd heard that this book wasn't as good as the original. While of course the format is not new anymore and Bridget's tone is familiar, this was a riot to read. After a few weeks of blissful romance with Mark Darcy, Bridget's world begins to disintegrate, little by little, beginning with the evil Rebecca, who will stop at nothing to pry Mark away from an insecure Bridget, and, most memorably, the "Brokedown Palace" episode where Bridget finds herself in leg irons in a Thai prison. Of course it all ends well, but for a few moments there, we do suffer along with Bridget and cheer for her at her happy ending.

Summary: Laughs in one sitting: non-stop (v.v.g.)
Review: I didn't think Helen Fielding could top herself, but she did. Bridget is even funnier this time around! I laughed 'til tears ran down my face (yes, it's THAT funny). Who else but Bridget can get herself into the situations she does and pull it off with such finesse? I hope, beg and pray there is another Bridget book out there and that Helen Fielding is listening. I want my own Bridget...heck, can I just BE Bridget!
Rating:
Summary: A decent sequel
Review: The Edge of Reason was a good read. However, at times, I was frustrated by Bridget's inability to get her life together. Her foolish and zany behavior was funny and lovable in the first novel, but in this novel it became a bit tiring. I would have liked to see some personal growth in Bridget, instead she remained the same ditzy, self-obsessed character she was in Bridget Jones' Diary. Nonetheless, if you liked Bridget Jone's Diary, you will enjoy this novel.

Summary: my vote is yes - a resounding yes
Review: once again, ms. fielding has created a massively compelling and highly amusing tale of a certain class of mid-young womanhood in the millenium. I challenge even the naysayers to get through without laughing out loud. HOWEVER, this is a book for people who are able and willing to laugh at the foibles of love and dating; those who are not afraid to acknowledge certain values that the culture dishes out, and turn it delightfully on its head. she is a consommate storyteller and her ear for humor never falters. I very much doubt whether she would have rocketed to stardom had her gifts been less than noteworthy. I for one look forward to her next effort with enthusiasm.......
