Rating: Summary: Helen, publish 'em like Nancy Drew books! please? Review: I could finish this book in a day, but I want to make it last so I can maintain a good mood as long as possible.Please, Helen, write a new one every year! Nancy Drew and James Bond don't grow up, Bridget shouldn't either.
Rating: Summary: Critics, Shmiticks Review: I saw some critics review this book before I read it myself, and none of them had anything good to say. I debated even reading it at all, thinking that if the critics were right, it wouldn't even be worth it. Fortunately, I let my remembered enjoyment of the first Bridget Jones novel outweigh the degrogatory critical comments. This is a fun book! All of your old aquaintances are back, and Bridget continues to do more embarrassing things than you ever would, so you end up saying to yourself "Well, I may do idiotic things, but at least I've never done THAT!" It's almost as if Bridget becomes the sacrifical lamb of ancient times, making all possible embarrassing mistakes on the behalf of single women the world over so we don't have to - and the best part is, after all those flub-up's, she still gets her happy ending.
Rating: Summary: Hope Bridget continues to keep us posted with her life! Review: Even more delightful than her first diary! I laughed out loud on the second page and I laughed out loud on the last page with plenty of laughs in between. Bridget is everywoman, for whom even the best laid plans go awry. Hurrah!
Rating: Summary: Book Read, 2 days (Excellent) Review: My cousin sent me Bridget Jones's Diary. I loved it. When I found out there was a sequel I ran to the store to get a copy. The Edge of Reason is a MUST for any Bridget fan. She will not disappoint you.
Rating: Summary: A great sequel Review: I read the first diary on Christmas Day and loved it so much that as soon as the shops reopened I sent my sister to buy the sequel. It was wonderful to see that Bridget was still as neurotic as ever and was still capable of messing up the smallest task with hilarious results. The interview with Colin Firth is in particular a classic section of the story. I dearly hope that we will hear from Bridget again as she doesnt seem the type to be laid to rest easily.
Rating: Summary: V. Fabulous Review: Totally loved it, and hope Helen keeps them coming. Like everyone else said, I could totally relate!
Rating: Summary: Read the books in sequence Review: I found the sequel to be better than the first; it had more of a storyline and more twists. However, if you haven't read the first book it might be a little bit difficult to follow some of the story (e.g. when Daniel and Vile Richard reappear). I thought it was a great book -- full of laughs.
Rating: Summary: A true pleasure Review: In a world of depressing new novels about dead husbands with secret wives, drowned toddlers, raped girls who become obese, psycho twin brothers, mothers dying in child birth...this book (and its predecessor) is as refreshing as spring sunshine after a Canadian winter. Thank you Helen Fielding for your hilarious books. A popular novel doesn't always have to dwell in high drama to be entertaining.
Rating: Summary: Great Read! Review: I loved this book so much. I read it while on vacation sitting by the pool. Finished it in one day. I laughed so hard that my husband told me that I needed to take the book and go somewhere where people did not think I was crazy. Cannot wait to see the movie. Fielding is definitely a brilliant author - full of imagination.
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: If you liked the first one, you'll love the second. If you haven't read the first one - buy it NOW! This is one of those sequels that you hope is only #2 in a long line of books. I was impressed that Fielding was able to come up with a very fresh plot, but still let the reader stay attached to all great characters from the first book. I cannot wait for the movie - and hopefully another book!
