Rating: Summary: Quick and Enjoyable Review: Very funny! The diary format made for very easy reading. It goes very fast, you can read a day, a week or a month at a time. Bridget is believable and quite likable. I enjoyed the book very much.
Rating: Summary: Diary of a woman Review: YES! YES! YES! What a great book. Bridget Jones speaks to every woman over the age of 20 who has ever had her heart broken, been frustrated by her parents, tried to lose weight, and tried to find someone to love. She is outrageous and hilarious, but also insecure and uncertain. All woman can relate to this one.Anyone who doesn't like this book has either never lived as a woman (or even with one for that matter) or has no sense of humor. The main point of the book is that if you can't laugh at yourself then you can't laugh at anything. Bridget sees herself for who and what she is and laughs about it. A light, joyous read for anyone.
Rating: Summary: Gidget phone home. Review: This is the long and breathlessly awaited sequel to "Gidget Goes to Hollywood". Gidget has aged approximately twenty years in approximately forty, but has not matured emotionally or intellectually. She has, however, adopted certain literary pretensions: in addition to exchanging the initial consonant of her Christian name, she has exchanged her boyfriend Jeff for Jane Austen's character Darcy from "Pride and Prejudice"--or is that only in this sequel's sequel? Any way, five stars for correctly spelling the possessive form of Jones. I also recommend "Gracie Allen Twist" by Charlene Dickens and "Lucy Ricardo V" by Wilma Shakespeare.
Rating: Summary: An absolute blast Review: V.G. What a wonderful book! Bridget is the type of character that everyone can identify with, even though they may not want to admit it. Helen Fielding has created a character that is neurotic but absolutely adorable at the same time. The use of a diary as a way to tell Bridget's story is incredible. The diary is the perfect way to capture on going dialogue and Bridget own spin on what is happening to her life. The characters are all well developed, and the basic story line of finding one's way through life, now matter what crazy twists and turns it will take, is one everyone can identify with. This is the type of book you'll buy then pass around to all of your friends, claiming they must read it immediately!
Rating: Summary: Awful! But I love it! Review: I do believe that I think like Bridget Jones! That is so awful! I am an English major in an university and I often feel that I can't spell and that I fail this and that--those are exectially what Bridget has done in this novel. Yet, I can't blame her. I think Fielding has captured an honest portrait of the life of a single female at the end of the twentith century--Life is tough, and, somewhere inside, she wishes that she were a real woman whom men find attractive. Actually, I find that Fielding makes Austen's Pride and Prejudice appears to be ridiculous example on telling a romantic story at the end of twentith century. Bridget Jones doesn't have much self-confidence, nor does Mark Darcy (I think). Yet, the romantic story of Bridget and Mark falls quite nicely into the plot of Pride and Prejudice. Obivously, Bridget Jones is not admiring Austen's Mr. Darcy, but Andrew Davis's Mr. Darcy (aka Colin Firth) and Mark Darcy at once! (Good God! I have so much fun with it!) Last note: v. v. v. g.
Rating: Summary: So funny! Absolutely Loved It! Review: This was such a great book -- it was funny and engaging. You'll end up loving the characters & wanting to know what happens next! I didn't want to put the book down and was sorry when it ended...I missed Bridget!
