Summary: A book for all women
Review: About three months ago I went to the movies to watch "The Bridget Jones's Diary". I simply loved the picture! Bridget is so funny and, at the same time, she has something that connects all the women in the world to her. Maybe it's the way she cares about her weight, or because she's always unhappy with her job, or even her lack of boyfriends.
After watching the movie, my best friend gave me the book and the CD of "Bridget Jones". I told him that he could not have given me a better present. I read the book in three days, and soon after finishing it, I bought the second one, "Bridget Jones: the edge of the reason", which is also really funny, but different from the first one.
Well, "Bridget Jones's diary" tells the story of a woman named Bridget Jones, who lives in London and is thirty-something years old. She doesn't have a boyfriend, and her mother is always trying to arrange a date with some guy she doesn't know. She's also a little overweight, and that's a huge problem to her, as she's always on a diet (even when she doesn't need one). She smokes a lot, and drinks a lot too. She can't quit any of these habits, although she always says that she will.
And that's the story. As you may see, there's nothing of exceptional. But that's why the book is so interesting. What happens to Bridget may happen (and already happens) to any girl in this world. Highly recommended!

Summary: i luurrrrrrrrrrved it
Review: what a great book. it's a pretty quick read, ideal for vacation or before bed, and you'll want
to finish it sooner rather than later.bridget has such a distinctive voice, one that i really identified with, and the narrative really
IS laugh-out-loud funny. sometimes you wish bridget would suck it up and behave
properly, but what fun would that be, anyway...and if she was very proper the reader would
miss out on phrases such as "pretending Perpetua was a Mexican cheeseplant," etc. any woman who has made it into her late 20s or 30s without being married, becoming a
mother, holding down a fabulously successful job, making scads of money and living a
glamourous lifestyle will find something in the book that speaks to her.

Summary: A Literary Masterpiece!!!
Review: Where do I begin???? I'm angry that I can only give this amazing novel 5 stars...it deserves at least 5 times that amount! Bridget Jones is one of the best female characters ever created! She's witty and hilarious, and heart-warming at the same time. A year in her life would be one of the most hectic experiences a person could have, and yet she handles it with grace (and wine and self-help books). She flies through a "f**kwit" boyfriend, a beastly human rights barrister being forced down her throat by a mother who runs off with a rather nasty fellow with a gentleman's handbag, a new job with a boss who starts most sentences with "I'm thinking...", and a permanent weight crisis that never seems to be resolved. Overall, this is a wonderful book, especially for any "Singletons" who are sick and tired of hearing "How's your love life?". If you don't laugh at Bridget and her escapades, there must be something wrong...maybe you didn't read her right. Anyway, pick up this jewel...you'll be glad you did!

Summary: A modern classic
Review: This charming story of a talking rabbit and his adventures in the magic forest have rapidly become a modern classic. Kids everywhere will delight with the eccentric and colourful characters we meet along the way - especially Mr Frizzle the Walnut-Catcher! - although the plot is sometimes laboured, and the vocabulary a bit challenging for the 6-to-8-year-old reader. Nonetheless a bedtime treat. More please!

Summary: Had me laughing the entire time.
Review: I had this book in pile to be read and figured I needed a bit of humor at the time so I started this book. From the start of book it had me laughing. I love the way the story flowed and how it told the story of a woman who is very much like a lot of woman I know. Single, overweight, and a chain smoker. I wished at times I could be right there with Bridget in the story and be living where she lived and meeting the people. I love her friends and of couse Mark, Daniel and her parents and all of there friends. I can't wait to start on the next book and will most likly be laughing just as hard as I did with this one.

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny
Review: This book was smartly written in diary form which is a nice departure for a novel. It is at times a little outlandish, but the realism of Bridget's character keeps the book grounded. This is a book that you can't put down, and that keeps you laughing. This book is a must for any single woman who is still looking for Mr. Right and yet keeps getting Mr. Wrong. Read this one, you'll laugh.

Summary: a really funny book
Review: I loved this book.It is well-written and makes you think that it is good to be a woman, even if you have no boyfriend.It is a perfect read for women,and there is laugh in every page.It describes the life of a woman who's trying to find a boyfriend,with her "crazy" mother and her best friends.It shows the race she does to make the man she likes notice her and also her attempts to lose weight and sto smoking so much and drinking so much alkohol.But all that are not easy.All the men she knows are either married or gay;her mother bothers her with many crazy ideas and her father wanrs help.And it is not so easy to live in London when you are at that age and not married.And it's not easy to find a boyfriend when you follow your friend's advice.It is a grat book to read any time, and it makes you feel better and laugh,no matter how difficult times you have.

Summary: Story is the life of a 20-something woman
Review: I bought the book because I enjoyed the movie. I found the movie had a better storyline and to be much funnier. In the movie, Bridget embodies every embarassing & disheartening moment a woman has ever had - poor public speeches, big mommy girdle underwear, getting cheated on. No one in real life has so many humiliating moments and you are glad she gets the good man in the end. In the book, Bridget is supposed to be in her 30s but her life resembles that of a woman in her 20s. By her 30s Bridget should have learned her lessons and started to get serious with her life. First, she is a total drunk. She should have outgrown her drunken sprees by her early 30s. She doesn't take her job/career seriously and is always late. Her apartment is a mess and she never has clean clothes. Her bank account hovers near 0. She dates losers with whom she has no possible future and she handles her relationships in an adolescent way. She is such a mess that I am shocked that sucessful men want anything to do with her. The movie Bridget was much more likeable than the book Bridget.

Summary: You must read this one!
Review: I loved this book so very much. The author is a real talent. It inspires me to purchase a diary book and began to write it daily. I like the book the way that it features an ordinary woman who is not a novel-like perfect. She expresses her thoughts and feelings in the diary. The author has sense of humor too. I like the way Bridget counts units of alcohol consumption, calories and how many times she dials 1471. I read this book in both English and Thai versions. I highly recommend this book to everyone especially those who love to write diary. I bet you will read it more than one time.
