The Bridget Jones: Edge of Reason - Helen Fielding Reviews

Somehow or other I'd completely missed the sequel to the mega phenomenon that was Bridget Jones Diary. Usually if I've enojoyed a book by a particular author I'll track down others but in this case I hadn't quite got down to it. Still gods of bedtime reading smiled down on me and one landed in my hands for 10p at a Church fair. I'm a ...  Read the complete review

Bridget Jones is the original...and the best singleton. "The Edge of Reason" (the second Jones diary by Helen Fielding) is surprisingly a great read. I was expecting it to be a major let down in comparison to the first book, but I admit that I was completely wrong...this book is fantastic!!! The book varies an awful lot from ...  Read the complete review

Whenever something is a huge sales success, it inadvertently spawns a sequel. This isn’t always a good thing and more sequels are a bad idea than are good ones. After all, sequels are difficult things. With a sequel, the fans what more of the same quality and all the things that made the original so popular, but if you replicate the original ...  Read the complete review

‘Bridget Jones- The edge of Reason’ might not immediately strike you as a book that would have an impact on you, but if you were to read it you might feel differently. To me Bridget Jones was an inspirational book as it focuses on the life of an everyday person who we are all able to relate to. It is a book that will have you laughing ...  Read the complete review

Comically inept Bridget Jones returns in The Edge of Reason, Helen Fielding’s sequel to her amusing (and often damn hysterically funny) 1996 novel Bridget Jones’ Diary. The Edge of Reason retains the witty, colloquial shorthand diary style that characterises Bridget’s voice - and the calorie count is still here too. ...  Read the complete review

Overall i enjoyed reading this book- the witty humour and situations that all woman can relate too were present in this follow-up to the huge success that was first Bridget Jones installment. The cast was pretty much the same and the plot was vry similar to the first one except in thisone the Bridget is in a very different place in her life. She ...  Read the complete review

I don't count myself amongst the thousands of women who loved the original book! I found it really really hard to get into. I read the second book as a last resort - 3 days left of the holiday and I had read everything else - twice! Well what can I say! Absolutley fantastic. It may have helped that I had recently been ...  Read the complete review

Ok I have just finished this book so I still have it fresh in my mind (I think!) Bridgets back and she's happy-well for now. She's still seeing Mark Darcy and all is well-or is it? They go to a party and some drunk man starts slobbering all over her in which Mark gets the wrong impression, they're wires get crossed ...  Read the complete review

EXCELLENT BOOK! To be honest, i think that that sort of sums it up really. I could babble on all day, about how great every one said it was before i had read it, and i wouldn't be lying; however, i think it would be best if i said exactly why i liked it. Like the first book, it was writen in an easy style, and made lovely for light reading, ...  Read the complete review

The edge of reason, the sequel to bridget joneses diary. In reading the book i felt i was in the company of a dear friend, someone who i could and have related to and in a sense it was like looking in a mirror. Not long into reading the edge of reason i began to agonise with bridget over the many misunderstandings between her and mr darcy and her ...  Read the complete review

I first became aware of the original Bridget Jones' Diary when I saw a review in a magazine and liked the sound of it. So, off I trotted to the book store to purchase my copy, when, to my surprise, there was a huge billboard advertising the film!!! Think of my predicament, was I to a) just go to the cinema and watch the film, or ...  Read the complete review

I think that everyone has either read the Bridget Jones Diary, seen the film or knows someone who has. In the follow up edge of Reason we continue where the BJ Diary leaves off. Here we find Bridget blissfully still with Mark and living in her flat but in true Bridget style she manages to make him think that she doesn't love him ...  Read the complete review

A follow up book with a fan base like Bridget Jones Diary has an awful lot to live up to. When Helen Fielding launched Bridget Jones, Edge of Reason I thought that it could never be as good as the original. How wrong could I be! Edge of Reason sees Bridget struggle through yet another year, manless (having finished with Mark ...  Read the complete review

nice overall book with a story that is easily read and hard to put down, slightly predictable. - Advantages: more laughs from a well known character - Disadvantages: you can easily predict the ending

At the end of the last book we find that Bridget has got her man and plans to live happily ever after. Huh, fat chance of that Im afraid and so we are let into yet another year of Bridget Jones. Things go very much down hill when Bridget is convinced that Mark has got a thing about "stick insect" Rebecca and Mark is convinced ...  Read the complete review
