Summary: Ding Dong! Great book!!!!
Review: Helen Fielding is wonderful! This is a definite read!!! I ride public transportation on the way to and from work--and I found myself laughing out loud many times! FAR better than the movie.

Summary: It made a great film...
Review: I think I made the mistake of watching the film first, and therefore I was expecting to read the scenes that had made me laugh so hard in the film.If you are like me, then you might just be dissapointed because the book is quite different, and most of the things that happen in the film do not happen in the book. Having said that, the book is in my opinion fresh, funny in some parts and definetly a light and easy read. The characters are not totally believable, but you can still picture them quite well. As for Bridget.... I just kept wondering WHAT NOW?... there's a limit to how many stupid things a person can do... sometimes she made me laugh and I identified with her, but others I just felt pity.... I put three stars because I admit I liked the film better, and it made me laugh a lot more than the book.

Summary: Better Than Ezra
Review: I loved this book. It reminded me so much of dating, even in American, and it's a lot smarter than Sex & the City!

Summary: a woman for any decade
Review: Perhaps shes crushing the feminist hearts but i adore bridget, her constant compulisve writing down of various food intakes and cigarettes smoked as well as embarassing encounters and mortifying moments make this more than just a book.

Summary: Dear Diary
Review: Bridget Jone's Diary is a romantic comedy about a single, chain smoking, British woman, by Helen Fielding. Throughout the entire book Bridget is trying to shed those extra pounds and is constantly lusting over the wrong guys, while she records her trials and tribulations of single life in her diary. This book will have you hooked as you go along with Bridget's dilemmas.

Summary: HATE IT! HAE IT! HATE IT!
Review: As a 'Singleton' who wants to lose weight, I feel Helen Fielding has taken this issue too far - and instead of making Bridget funny, Ms. Feilding made her and her silly friends... Not only didn't I identify with Bridget and the situations she put herself in, but I also didn't find her & those situations funny / educating, etc. This is yet another one of those 'Single British around 30 Single Girl' stories that seem to flood us lately. This seems to be the most popular one, but I personally feel it's the worst of the bunch I've read (it certainly is the most un - original and least funny of them). I reccomend 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' to anyone who's interested in a better book - not only is Rebbeca Bloomwood a more believable character (even though all of these girls are a little over the top), but it certainly much funnier tha... little Bridget can ever hope to be.

Summary: Hilarously Funny!
Review: This book is one of the best I've read in a long time. Read the book before you see the movie. In some ways,we can all relate to Bridget and her hilarous misadventures. Everyone should read this book.

Summary: So-So
Review: I guess I'm one of the few people who didn't think this book was fall down hysterical or typical of what women experience in the dating world. Although it has some funny moments, it didn't keep my interest all the way through, and I ended up putting it down and picking it up over the span of a few weeks. I actually found the character to be more pitiful, than funny and couldn't help but think, who the heck would do all these stupid things??? I know it's just a book, but I think it's just so-so.

Summary: Loved it. Was sorry it ended.
Review: Just the thing if you're looking for some light reading. This really is a laugh out loud book. Fielding captures in Bridget what every single woman has gone through or thought at some point in her life. If you're a Singleton then it definitely makes you feel that you're not alone in what you thought were some of your unique habits or quirks. Bridget has them all. The only problem I had with the book was it's Britishness. Luckily I've had a British boyfriend so I figured out rather quickly what the 9st2's meant, but I wonder how other Americans fared with this. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the book even more had I been familiar with the references to British personalities, TV shows, etc. Nevertheless, there is enough there to keep you grinning, laughing and turning the pages. I've also read the sequel, The Edge of Reason, and it's just as good. I'm hoping for more Bridget books.

Summary: Oh Glorious Day, The Best Book Ever!
Review: What can I say, I loved this book and the sequel, but now I am ready for a third. Bridget Jones still has so much living to do and so many adventures to share. I love the characters: Bridget, Mark Darcy, her friends, even Daniel Cleaver, the [villian]! ...
