    A fun and light read!
  

*by V***) on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2012*

I've enjoy Bridget Jones movies very much, and have not read the books until very recently. I thought I'd give it a try, to see whether I liked the original as much as the film version of our heroine - Bridget Jones - and to my surprise I enjoyed the books as well. Although, coming to this book franchise after having watched the movies first, I must admit - I was looking for the books to follow the movies, which the first movie did, the second - not so much. After finishing The Edge of Reason, and it being so different from the film, I think I enjoyed this book more than the movie, because of its differences. The situations that Bridget got herself in were hilarious to read and the development of Mark Darcy's character was great. There are a great number of funny scenes and situations throughout this book. As everyone mentioned the Colin Firth interview - is very funny, and I was laughing out loud when Bridget was trying to buy a bikini:  "Saturday 19 July  129 lbs. (why? On bikini-purchase day, why?), confusing thoughts about Daniel: too many, bikini bottoms fitted into 1, bikini tops fitted into: half, rude thoughts about Prince William 22, no. of times wrote "Prince William and his lovely date Miss Bridget Jones at Ascot" on Hello! magazine 7.  6.30 p.m. Bloody, bloody, bloody. Have spent all day in changing rooms of Oxford Street trying to squeeze my breasts into bikini tops designed for people with breasts either arranged one on top of the other in the centre of their chests or one under each arm, with the harsh downlighting making me look like River Cafe frittata. Obvious solution is one-piece but then will return with already squashily textured stomach highlighted against rest of body by whiteness."I enjoyed reading these books and would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun and light read.

    sequels that do justice to the original 1 (v.g.)
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2003*

This is a superb sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary." The characters, especially Mark, Jude and Sharon, are developed further. Bridget's mum is up to her usual antics- this time around she brings an African tribesman named Wellington home and has him stay with her and Colin. Bridget is as funny, endearing and poignant as in the first book....alternating between despair one moment and joy and hope the next....sometimes feeling she has a handle on things and at other times feeling she has no control and is at the mercy of the chaos and uncertainty of life. She is still making resolutions and breaking them. In this book, she shows her pluck by taking charge and taking action to get herself out of a Thai prison (sustained by a copy of Rudyard Kipling's "If," given to her by Mark Darcy.) She has further journalistic adventures....the funniest being her trip to Rome where she gets to interview Colin Firth. Bridget only wants to talk about Mr. Darcy from "Pride And Prejudice" (especially the wet-shirt-in-the-lake scene) and Colin's Italian girlfriend (wouldn't he be better off with a nice, British girl?- Bridget asks). Mr. Firth would really rather talk about his current projects. The interview is hilarious. If you read it at home you will laugh out loud and if you read it in public you may have to put your fist in your mouth so you don't have people thinking you're out of your mind. Bridget is also provided with a worthy adversary in the dreaded Rebecca, a tall blonde who apparently only has one goal in life- to steal Mark from our beloved Bridget. You'll want to reach into the book and slap her silly! Excellent!

    An Excellent Sequel To A Great Original
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2000*

I think that it would be a tough challenge for an author to write a sequel, especially one to a popular book like Bridget Jones' Diary.  It's inevitable that fans of the original will develop ideas and expectations as  to how the characters will grow.  If the author doesn't meet these  expectations, then the book isn't well received.  Fortunately, Fielding  manages to avoid this trap.  This book maintains all the charms of the  original, while managing to advance the characters in a natural, logical  way.Fans will be delighted to find that the humorous spirit of the  original is maintained.  The situations in which the characters are placed  are as outlandish and witty as before.  Yet, the book isn't just a series  of hilarious misadventures.  There is a growth that's depicted in all the  characters.  Bridget seems to learn a lot about herself through the course  of the book.  The other characters also depict the little changes that  constitute growth in a person.  The result of these depictions is that the  book, while still very funny, has an undercurrent of seriousness that makes  it seem more realistic than one would first imagine.Don't let the  slightly serious tone fool you.  Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is still  great fun.  It's a very worthy follow-up to the original.  I, for one,  can't wait for the next volume of Bridget's diaries to see where Fielding  next takes these characters.
