Summary: HOOKED ON THIS BOOK!
Review: Definitely a must read for every woman. Bridget Jones is such a dynamic character. In some way, every woman can relate to this character. You have to read "Diary" first in order to understand this sequel. If you thought "Diary" was good, wait until you read this one!

Summary: Another Single Story!
Review: The first book of this "series" was exactly what it was supposed to be--a desperate singles story. However, I expected this one to chronicle Bridget Jones in a relationship. Boy, was I wrong. Single again, she is quickly driven into the same self-help cycles as the first book. Come on, Fielding...just reprint the first one with a couple names crossed out.

Summary: Good, But Not As Good
Review: Bridget Jones 2 is funny, cute and enjoyable, - but not as funny, cute and enjoyable as the first one. Bridget still has her panic attacks and still overanalyzes to comic efect.The things with the sequel is that for me it stretches a bit too much. The story is not that believable anymore. But it is still funny.

Summary: Set aside a few hours, because you won't want to put it down
Review: The only thing keeping me from giving this book 5 stars were some of the stressful moments which made me SO tense, out of empathy for the characters. Though, I think that the fact that I was able to get so involved with the characters speaks volumes for Helen Fielding's writing. Read it and then recommend it to a friend.

Summary: A fulfilling continuation of the first book...
Review: I had to read this book twice to decide whether or not to give it 4 or 5 stars. In fact, the first time I read it, I was in such a hurry to find out what happened, I missed much of the intricate detail that Feilding weaves into this book. Upon my second reading, however, I knew this book had to get the full 5. "Edge of Reason" has a greater depth than "B.J." but it equally as witty and funny. Perhaps not the most, er, realistic of plots, but it's just close enough to real life to make readers identify with Bridge's mishaps. I was practically rolling on the floor at Bridge's Christmas cards that she sent, her plots to outwit the Evil Jellyfish Rebecca, and her attempt to find the perfect man with "long eyelashes" through the personal ads. On a positive note, though, this book made me think more so than the first one. It explored a few more serious issues, though always in a tongue-in-cheek way, and showed how miscommunication in a relationship can make things much more difficult than they have to be. My main complaint about this episode - what the heck happened to Tom? I miss him! He is just a side note to this book, making him seem less of a crucial friend to Bridge and a whole lot more superficial/insensitive. Overall, however, this book neatly finishes a lot of loose ends from the first installment. There is somewhat of a cliffhanger ending, which leaves B.J. fans certainly hoping that Fielding will write another book, and leave it at a trilogy. A survival guide for women everywhere who are desperately clinging to their sanity! Fabulous!

Summary: A definite follow up success!
Review: Helen Fielding has struck again! And this one is even better than the first one...the reader will find the same funny situations, same problems Bridget faces in her daily struggle as a woman. The book is enjoyable, fun to read, amazingly unpretentious and joyful for a good afternoon of reading. This is the kind of book you want to read when things aren't so great around you: with Helen Fielding's book under your arm, the worst can happen and it will still make you laugh!

Summary: Second verse, same as the first
Review: I read to page 10 and thought I could care less about this story...a young woman who thinks a six-week relationship that involves sex is a form of commitment...where has she been? She may need a copy of The Rules, a health exam to be sure she hasn't a dread disease, and some help getting some confidence in her own life. This is no longer funny, but rather pitiful. The first book seemed funy, but she learns nothing and is obviously doomed to repeat her life in daily notations that add up to little or nothing. ...................

Summary: Loads of Fun!
Review: I loved Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason! I laughed tons at her alternating innocence, hopefulness and frustrations and really sympathized with her predicaments! She is a great character - very modern yet very human! (I also loved her first book! Both are great!)

Summary: Even better than the first...
Review: The one review I had read of this book prior to purchasing it was negative. Boy, do I disagree! I actually think it's better than the first book. Maybe not so many laugh out loud scenes, but more of a plot. You really want Bridget to succeed with Mark Darcy! The book actually reminds me of I Love Lucy -- zany things that could only happen to our heroine. And any woman who has ever been over 25 and single will identify with Bridget and her fellow singletons. I really couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next installment!

Summary: Better than the First Bridget Jones!
Review: I loved the first Bridget Jones' Diary! This was even greater. There were times when I was disappointed in Bridget herself, but I really liked the lessons learned here. Definitely an entertaining read, and a great follow up to the first! I absolutely could not put this down. If you don't buy this book, its the stupidest thing you have ever done!
