Sophie Kinsella in general

Sophie Kinsella is brilliant in capturing the everyday women. Although, most are not that neurotic with shopping. But it does capture the shopping habits of women in general. I love it. I've read all four of the Shopaholic Series and it is brilliant!! (Confession of a Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, Shopaholic Ties the Knot, and Shopaholic and Sister.) I cannot put the book down! I laugh, shake my head, and just have happy thoughts when reading the book. I'm finishing up "Can You Keep A Secret", and looking forward to her other series as Madeleine ...  Read the complete review

^^^^^^^^ Shopaholic And Sister - Sophie Kinsella ^^^^^^^^ The only reason I ever buy books in shops at full price, rather than ordering them off the Internet, is if they're by one of my favourite authors, or I'm just desperate for something to read.

Sophie Kinsella is her middle name and her mother?s maiden name. The pen name was adopted so that he could get the first Shopaholic novel "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic" ...  Read the complete review

When I received "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopoholic" by Sophie Kinsella in a free gift pack that came with an issue of Cosmo, I thought it would be a stupis book aimed at young girls who have nothing better to do than to shop with their daddies money. However, I was very wrong. This book isn't geared towards young girls but rather late teens to early twenties. It is about a witty girl who sort of fell into the job of writing for a financial magazine and doesnt care at all about it. WHile not working, she spends every last dime of her pay check on the latest fashionable things and soon finds herself in debt. In order to pay them off, she must either make ...  Read the complete review
