Rating: Summary: A depressing story for those after thirty Review: I thought that Fielding gave pathetic view of a woman's life after thirty. It was very depressing how Bridget was obsessed with her love interest, Daniel, and how he completely blew her off. It appeared as though nothing in Bridget's life was going right until the end. Overall, the book seemed unrealistic and full of Bridget whining about how pathetic her life was.
Rating: Summary: I am 19 and can relate, LOVE THIS BOOK Review: I thought that Bridget and her stories were charming and funny. I loved the characters and found this book to be one of the best I have read in a long time!!
Rating: Summary: Read this book Review: I read this book because of all the hype. Tahnk goodness that I listened ot the hype. I found it extremely funny and entertaining. Although I'm only twenty, I guess that I can't say I know what it's like to be 30-something and single. but I liked this book. SO read it. I recommend it.
Rating: Summary: My favourite funny book Review: This book is dead funny. If you have ever been single, are single and in your thirties you will suddenly see the funny side of life. It is hilarious!!!
Rating: Summary: The funniest book I have ever read. Review: I just finished it and am already missing her. Loved this book so much I actually couldn't wait to get home to read it every day. I made myself stop reading it so as to save some for the next day. I am glad I'm not the only female having weird thoughts like her (well sometimes!).
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: I heard about this book on public radio and read about it, from that I expected it to be something I'd like. But as a American who fits Bridget's demographic profile perfectly (except for the nationality!), I was dismayed. It just wasn't funny to me. Bridget Jones reads like an The Patty Duke Show--twin cousins, one English, one named Ally McBeal, working as a lawyer in Boston. It is disheartening to find women my age so weak, obsessed with men and looks, and only able live life relative to what others think of how they look, act, etc. Bridget Jones annoyed the hell out of me. Viva la Feminism!
Rating: Summary: Amusing but inconsequential Review: Very light reading. Good book for the beach, but will not find its place on my bookshelf of meaningful favorites.
Rating: Summary: What's All the Fuss About? Review: After all the hype that I've heard surrounding the book "Bridget Jones's Diary" by Helen Fielding, I decided to buy it, much to my chagrin.Unfortunately, I couldn't relate to half of what the book was about since the protagonist, Bridget, is a thirty-something, career-oriented woman, whereas I'm twenty-something and studying to have a career. Not that it's the author's fault that I didn't get that part. What I did find fault in this book is the overly obsessive way Jones keeps track of everything from pounds, to calories, to cigarettes, to instants, etc. I have better things to do with my time than read that. Granted, BDJ had some hilarious scenes such as the disastrous dinner party, on the whole it's not worth the expense. Check it out at the local library if you're really curious.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious! Review: This book was so fun to read. I read the entire book in one sitting. Great portrayl of how neurotic women can be sometimes in the issues of life. You will definitely laugh aloud and some of her entries.
Rating: Summary: Hysterical! A must-read! Review: I had to put the book down to laugh several times. I loved the description of the experience in the communal dressing room, and the drama of trying to find an outfit that's not stained. And... I must admit that I am seriously trying to resist measuring my thigh circumference ! I can't wait for the screenplay (!!!) and more of Bridget's adventures.
