Summary: laughed till i cried
Review: This is the funniest book I have read in a long time. I laughed out loud so often people turned to stare at me. I also fell off the couch at home reading the remedy for tape worms. My boyfriend thought I was deranged. Bridget Jones's Diary reminded me a lot of The Secret Diaries of Adrian Mole. Nevertheless, I'm recommending this book all around, with no reservations whatsoever.

Summary: Want a better read?
Review: Bridget Jones's Diary started out as a newspaper column in England. The diary entries are comical and speak to the heart of most women (at least those who will admit it to themselves). HOWEVER, the plot is stolen from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, an infinately better read (my favorite novel, btw) so I was unable to read Bridget Jones without a grudge. If you're going to write, please don't steal from others. An homage is fine, but this crosses the line. Fielding goes so far as to call Bridget's true love Darcy. Come on. Next time, come up with your own plot. Recommended: Pride & Predjudice (the novel, ISBN: 0553213105). If you prefer to watch great fiction rather than read it, view the wonderful and charming BBC film (ASIN: 6303921248).

Summary: Not every 20-something woman identifies with Bridget
Review: In fact, many of us thing she is a whining sniveling idiot who truly gives a bad name to women everywhere. I hope that my friends and I never degenerate to this self-pitying moron who really cannot seem to take control of her life since she is so obsessed with others' opinions of her. Does she have no sense of self-worth? I take offense at all of the reviewers (published and online) who say that Bridget is "every single woman." We are not all desperate, pathetic creatures incapable of making a simple decision. God help us if she is the ideal standard to which we are all being held up. While the book is a quick read (under an hour--not neccessarily a good thing by the way), the plot is a retread of every Austen novel, and Bridget herself is not that far from an Edwardian heroine. However, the Edwardian heroine has more strength and intelligence than this sniveling little spoiled brat. At the very least, Ally McBeal's whims and fantasies are grounded in her character, and not in a horribly written slapstick plot.

Summary: the Best Book I've Read In A Long Time!

Summary: I laughed out loud!
Review: I laughed out loud while reading this book. This book really portrayed what it is like to be a woman in their late-twenties trying to have it all. Bridget wants it all, boyfriend, career, friends and close family. The book is easy reading and you will certainly enjoy it if you just want something "fun" to read!

Summary: Not worth it
Review: An intresting book that led me to look at some of the stranger points of human culture. Albeit intresting, this is a book I would not like to buy, or read again. The reason being she was just a little too crazy for me. Her quirks were more chilling then charming that anyone could be so wishy-washy and strange. An easy read and slighty amusing if that is all you're looking for.

Summary: Candy. 100% pure, delicious, utterly nutritionless candy.
Review: To say Bridget Jones is the literary Ally McBeal... well, it's just not right. Bridget Jones is firmly grounded in the real world of feminine insanity where Ally is more of a cartoon. As a male, I can only hope half of the book is as dead-on with the Singleton as it seems, because it means that women are definitely the more interesting of the species while men are, well... this book pretty much nails men, too. I'm a slow reader, but this is one book that took no time and little effort to read and enjoy. It's not Jane Austen, but that's not necessarily an insult.

Summary: A woman's life!
Review: It is impressionat how could Helen Fielding write a really closed image of all the aspects of a woman's life. While the reader starts the novel is quickly introduced inside the problems, dreams, obsessions and feelings of a middle-aged woman ( in her thirties). From this point of view it seems to be a feminist novel, but as you read it, I am sure you will enjoy it, indeed if you are male. It is really an enjoyable writing which I recomend to all kind of readers, especcialy those who want to have a good time comparing themselves with Bridget's one, a woman whose main interests in this life are to be independent and at the same time be all those things men want! Its plot is divided in twelve characters, each one represent a month. In this period,the reader shares Bridget JOne's life and as it can be seen none of the objectives shown at the first sight have been taken at last.
