Rating: Summary: It's so good I don't want it to end!! Review: I only got through "June" in Bridget's diary and had a great time so far. Just thinking about it makes me want to sneak into the restroom at my office and read some more. I couldn't help but peak at her last entries to check if she stays with Daniel (I really want her to!!)
Rating: Summary: Bridget needs to grow up Review: For months I was anticipating sitting down with this book, and once I did, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. Yes, it is very funny, yet I find Bridget's obsessions to be something I experienced during my teen-age years and early 20s. I'm now 34, and couldn't find a single issue of hers relevant to my own life now. I always believed that the Brits matured much sooner than we Americans. Now, I'm beginning to wonder. I wanted to say to Bridget, get over it. Move on. You're in your 30s; take responsibility for your own life. Especially, because it would be demeaning to finally find a man to take care of you for the rest of your life; besides, he'd probably bungle it all up anyway. And you'd still be miserable.
Rating: Summary: devilishly delightful! Review: this was such a hillarious book! i connected with bridget jones' feelings so much. the delivery and writing was so humorous, I caught myself laughing out loud so many times!a pure delight-i can read it again and again!
Rating: Summary: an excellent picture of single-women in 90's Review: shows how a single woman who doesn't see the world as the rest of the people around tries to stick to her ways. I totally share the difficulties of resisting to the 'ways' of the majority.. gives an excellent picture of a young single woman who is just so confused & trying to make it.. makes you laugh and makes you think...
Rating: Summary: There is a bit of Brigid Jones in every woman Review: Absolutely hilarious, a total joy to read. Every woman can realate at some stage to Bridgit Jones' antics. You will be garuanteed to pick this book up in years to come and it will still be relevant!
Rating: Summary: A good fun read Review: I think those who have not enjoyed BJ's Diary have misunderstood the point somewhat. It's a lighthearted look at 90s life for a single woman. I certainly don't consider myself a weak, vain or man obsessed person, but I can relate to many of Bridget's anxieties in this book, as, I should imagine, can many young women. Taken on face value it's a simple, refreshing and funny book - one that I read with a constant smirk on my face. Only slight annoyance for me was the 'mother' storyline, which was just too far fetched and cliched for me.
Rating: Summary: IT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! Review: Bridget Jones is not only a picture of a single British woman striving to find a perfect life, man, weight and a cure to the obsessive "1471" thing, she is a symbol of how neurotic women have become to be able to find happiness. BJ ia a hilarious book describing a thirtysomethings life and how she copes with the problems life throw at us. She is a true picture of how women may become if they become obsessed with the "norms" society throws at us. Thankfully not all she is a character which Helen Fielding has exaggerated on to make us laugh ay her absurdities and laugh at ourselves!!
Rating: Summary: I found this to be laugh out-loud funny! Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary. I started reading it and was laughing out loud, my husband came in to see what was going on. I could definitely relate to the trials and tribulations of life as a single woman. The only down side was translating the English terms but that was not too difficult. A must read for all 20 & 30 something women!
Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Give me some more! Review: What can I say - I wish the year was longer; I wish I could read at a slower rate; I wish there was a "part 2" already; I wish I could buy this book as a Xmas gift for all my friends; I wish I were them, reading it for the first time... p.s. Livnat - thanks for recommending this book!
Rating: Summary: Hysterical; charming; romantic; a true woman of the 90's! Review: Bridget Jones is the woman in the office down the hall, the woman sitting next to you in the nail salon, the woman weighing salad with you in the cafeteria at the office....the woman looking back at you in the mirror. Bridget makes you realize you are not alone; that counting your cigarette and alcohol consumption is not bizarre; that work is not all there is. She is bright yet insecure; sad yet silly; alone but not always lonely. She is you and me. A must read for all of us who have been there, are there, or will be there in the not so distant future!
