Summary: The single life according to Bridget!
Comment: This little booklet was so much fun to read! It is filled with Fielding's ironic humor and signature style. Bridget has created her own little self-help book. Here, you will learn how to cook, eat, weigh yourself and even how to be your friends' therapist. It is all done with an ironic twist!
Every Helen Fielding fan should get a copy of this book. Granted, I feel it should have been longer -- but Fielding's humor is well worth it. Get it!
Rating: 2
Summary: very disappointing
Comment: This was not v.g. Very disappointing... even though some of the proceeds go to charity, this was still not worth it. Fielding could have been much more creative & innovative with this guide. Instead, the book is sloppy and rushed (too many typos), and simply not funny. She turns Bridget into much more of a silly caricature than she is in the first two Bridget Jones'.

Summary: Ummm.....kinda disappointed
Comment: I love Bridget Jones, and I do feel a sense of loyalty to her. However, this "Guide" was dumb- it was basically a re-hash of the highlights in the 2 "Bridget" novels. If you've never read the books, this "guide" might give you just the taste of Bridget you need to get motivated to read the books. If, however, you are a devoted Bridget fan, this book will be useless to you. Bridget gives us the finer points on ordering a pizza, along with photos, just in case the written instructions were confusing. She gives us advice on cooking a lavish dinner for guests (Hello??? Didn't we already chew this in the first novel- ala Bridget's birthday bash?!?). And, Bridget gets to play pseudo-psychiatrist with Jude, Shazzer, her Mum and her Dad- each "session" spans merely 2 paragraphs a piece and ends with Bridget and her "client" getting sloshed on Chardonnay. Yeah, okay- isn't that what she and her mates do about 5 out of 7 nights of the week? In all fairness, I wasn't exactly sure what I expected when I got this "guide", but I know I expected more than a rehash of the 2 best-selling novels. It seems to me that Fielding wants to cash in while the "Bridget Jones" movie is out, thereby striking while the iron is hot. That's fine- just please, Helen, don't recycle old Bridget material. We're hoping for something new! I did, however, give this 2 stars because I chuckled in exactly 3 places, and because I love Bridget and the joy she's brought me and my friends. But, this book isn't worth going ga-ga over.
