Rating: Summary: Recommend for those who love romantic comedy Review: I really love the audio version of this book. Helen Fielding's work was funny, especially when read by a good narrator like Tracie Bennett. Tracie Bennett was so great that I felt like Bridget was telling me the story by herself! I kept smiling from the begining to the end. You will love Bridget and her life. Also, the second book "Bridget Jones: the edge of reason" is even better. I wish Helen Fielding will have the third Brodget Jones book soon!
Rating: Summary: Strongly recommend for those who love romantic comedy. Review: I heard audio version of this book, read by Tracie Bennett. I bought it after I saw the movies. But you will find much more in the book. I really love the audio version cause Tracie Bennett was so great that I felt like Bridget was telling me the story herself! I strongly recommend this book for those who wants an easy reading and relaxing story. And I have to tell you that the second one "Bridget jones:the Edge of Reason" is even better!
Rating: Summary: Love this book!!! Review: This is the best book i have ever read!!!! It's hillarious, straightfroward and, well, hillarious!! I think that every woman can relate to at least some of Bridget's problems. This is a 'must read'!!... ...'nuff said
Rating: Summary: The story of my life sans the happy ending... Review: Helen Fielding's novel Bridget Jones's Diary is the hilarious tale of a thirty-something "Singleton" who believes that her life would be perfect if she could quit smoking, give up drinking, and just lose some weight. The book opens with a list of Bridget's New Year resolutions including "Will form functional relationship with responsible adult"--which turns out to be another one of those up and down things in Bridget's life! Throughout the course of the year, Bridget battles with her crazy Mum (who wants nothing more than for her to marry off!), her minor obsession with boss Daniel Cleaver (among other men, too), her fluxuating weight (she swears it's impossible to put on a few pounds overnight), her smoking and drinking ( she'll quit tomorrow), and developing Inner Poise (truly the secret to life). With all that on Bridget's plate, it's no surprise the first chapter is entitled "January--An Exceptionally Bad Start"! Helen Fielding does a wonderful job taking the reader on a crazy ride through Bridget's Daily life. Often one can see their own life mirrored in that of Bridget's and Fielding's ability to do this makes this novel a hilarious read! Bridget is a very real and modern character and isn't at all fake. Further proof of this is at the end of the novel (at the end of December--she keeps her journal for a year), Bridget just so happens to have found a man, and, despite the fact that her year as a whole might be considered absolutely horrible (being cheated on, changing jobs, the weight, the smoking, her Mum, etc!), she still manages to conclude that the year overall was excellent. Forgetting all the bad things when you finally find someone???...Hmph, that's a real character if I ever did see one...
Rating: Summary: A hilarious book you'll want to read again and again Review: This book is hilarious and includes a lot of hilarity and insights that the movie does not contain. This is a great book for women to read. You will be saying "Yes, that is it! This is my life!" even if you are no Bridget Jones. This is a great book for men to read. Men will learn a lot about the female mind and will enjoy doing it!
Rating: Summary: This review goes to zero Review: Let's say you're reading a book. You've given the plot a one, characters a one, prose a one ... but the book is really worse than that. You need that extra bit, that extra push over the cliff. Where do you go from there? Zero. "But why not just make one lower, and give the book a one?" This review goes to zero.
Rating: Summary: Loved it, Loved it, Loved it....v.g. Review: The novel takes you through the days and nights of Bridget Jones, a woman that any female can identify with at some time in her life. She is constantly worried about her weight, bad habits and her attraction to bad men. The one aspect of the book I enjoyed was the relationship between Bridget and her parents. The changes they go through are cause for many laughs and a few tears. It's a nice quick read and sure to cheer you up! I did find myself needing a British to English glossary though!
Rating: Summary: Every woman should read this........... Review: I laughed and laughed out loud as I read this book. The humo(u)r is typically British, as are some of the references therein. I had to explain a few things to my American friends, but they thoroughly enjoyed it too! I passed it on to my best friend and she and I are still sharing anecdotes and laughing again. The "Madonna" dressing up episode will have you howling. Excellent stuff...more please!
Rating: Summary: Great Funny Book Review: I love Bridget! She's a character for the ages! Every woman can relate to her calorie counting and Her optimistic outlook on single life, while trying to decide between the devilish Daniel Cleaver and the dashing Mark Darcy, make for a book you won't be able to put down!
Rating: Summary: Bridget Jones Diary Rocks! Review: After seeing the movie and loving it, I decided to read the book. The book was better than the movie and I couldn't put it down. Helen Fielding does a great job of making every woman feel like she is Bridget. I found myself laughing out loud at night in bed and waking my husband up. This book is truly a guilty pleasure, and if you want something light to read this is it. It's funny, poignant, and very hip!
