Summary: Not as good as the first one...
Review: But a definite read in my opinion. Perhaps it was because I read the first book just the day before I bought the second, but it seemed that many of the things that had me ROTFL in the first, were used again in the second (such as the tumbling bit). Much like the first book had been rewritten and made longer. Also, for all of you who think Bridget is shallow, etc.: I think it is terrific that Bridget knows that she shouldn't smoke, drink, etc., and that she has goals to improve herself. You that criticize must have such a boring life, in addition to being unremorsefully full of bad habits.

Summary: Bridget's Back and Better Than Ever!
Review: Helen Fielding is the funniest British author-- I love Bridget Jones! We Americans are not keeping up -- except Brauner's Love Songs of the Tone-Deaf, which is very much like Bridget Jones, in that both are about the funny, desperately tragic business of love. I recommend these books to anyone who wants to laugh while reading a great book!

Summary: Gaaa! We're alike!
Review: Am writing review of marvelous book that just recently finished reading. Found surprising similarities between self and main character. Wondering if that is really a good thing. Main character very strong, but also had weaknesses. Does that makes sense? Anyway, will not obsess over weather or not am making sense. Ending was very good, and suspect that there will be a sequel for does not feel like a real ending. Like there's something more. Hmmm.

Summary: What fun! Can't wait for the next Bridget Jones book
Review: I finished this book last night and miss it already. I liked it better than the original, and that's quite a compliment considering how much I enjoyed that one. Mark and Bridget make a great couple....I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Summary: loved it
Review: This is perhaps the best humorous novel I have ever read. It has everything that made Bridget Jones's Diary great - suspense, humor, witty and believable characterization and a fast pace - but Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is better craftd than its predecessor.

Summary: Sooooo hard to comprehend!
Review: "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" was just not nearly as good as the first one. I felt like I had to force myself to finish it. I don't live in London so most of the dialogue was lost on me! Bridget and Mark were a disaster waiting to happen and Sharon was a schmuck! As for Mark and Rebecca: that was the only really funny part of the book! I'd say skip buying this one!

Summary: absoulutely fabulous!
Review: Being a thirtysomething singleton-Bridget Jones is a great pal to have! She has more misadventures of the comically romantic kind in Edge of Reason. Highly recommended for anyone who loved the first book and wants more of the same-hurrah!

Summary: Think about it, girls....
Review: I love Bridget Jones, but I'm a little afraid of her. If she epitomizes the fin-de-millenium feminine mind, we girls are in big trouble. Oh, sure, her obsessions with her appearance, her clothes, and her love life are funny. But are we really supposed to admire (and root for) a woman with no interests, ambitions, opinions, or even thoughts beyond what pop culture (TV, self-help books, etc.) provides for her? I found myself liking Mark Darcy more and more, and in the end (scary thought), I thought maybe he was a little too good for Bridget. The book has some very funny situations, and Bridget's voice is still appealing. But the plot's pretty thin in spots; characters appear and disappear without developing into anything. All in all, the book shows signs of having been written in a hurry and without a very exacting editor. Blurry goo' fun, if you keep the emphasis on "blurry" and don't think too hard--or at all--about just how much like Brudget you are. After all, if Bridget achieves her ultimate ambition, won't she be a rich housewife who dabbles in freelance celebrity journalism? Hmmmm .... not v.g., if you ask me.

Summary: I know I've met Rebecca before...
Review: The only credible foil to Bridget Jones herself, the Jellyfish Rebecca (the funniest Bridget-ism yet!), is as much a part of today's Singleton world as Bridget. If you haven't met Rebecca yet, wait for this Prada footed, no cellulite wonder to try to make off with your Mark Darcy, your friends too... I identified so completely with Bridget I couldn't put the book down; reading Bridget Jones is like a deja vu! Makes you want to throw all your self help books into the dustbin and avoid Thai food at all costs. Throw away The Rules and read Edge of Reason. Hurrah!

Summary: Ferociously fun
Review: Cheers to Ms. Fielding for creating another hilarious account of a very funny, likable character. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason continues to document the life of the lovable Bridget. While she may still be man obsessed and self absorbed, she is still one of the more real protagonists in contemporary fiction. I know, I know she does come across as a bit daft at times. Take for example, the excruciating interview with Colin Firth. While, I heard a comment from an actual writer say how stupid she was, I must admit that when in the presence of celebrity even the coolest of cucumbers can sway and go a bit haywire. She is still in constant contact with her gal pals, Jude and Shazzer. While they do tend to medicate some problems with alcohol, they spit out some intuitive insight. Although the quest for Mark Darcy is still a central focus, Bridget focuses more on developing herself. Still the object of ridicule at her job, she pushes on just like the "Get on with it" girl she is.
