Title: Bridget
Jones's diary
Author: Helen Fielding
Genre: romantic fiction/humor
Rating: 
Bridget is in need of a boyfriend and quick. She knows she's not getting any younger
(thirty-something), so she needs to take serious action. She keeps a diary to keep
track of her daily troubles and whereabouts, victories and mistakes to keep
herself and her life focused.
Bridget has two men in her life: Daniel Cleaver, a very hansom, flirtatious guy,
(probably great at everything,) who happens to be her boss and the totally inappropriate
Mark Darcy with whom she was acquainted at her mothers new year's turkey
curry buffet. He's rude, wears awful jumpers and always says the wrong things.
So, the decision at hand shouldn't be a big problem, should it? Then you haven't
met Bridget yet! So busy trying to get everything right, overseeing the obvious.
This contemporary version of Austen's Pride and prejudice is written in a very humorist
way. In all honesty I have to say it is probably a real
women's book. Women will suffer together with Bridget when she tries to
keep her calories to a minimum, but ending up eating more in the process, when
she tries to reason with men's logic, but fails miserably. But in the end she
gets it right.
Have fun with this one, I certainly did.
