Summary: Entertaining in its genre
Comment: Sophie Kinsella introduces us to Rebecca Bloomwood, a shopaholic if there ever was one. She writes for a financial publication, but dreams of writing for a fashion magazine instead. However, if she can't get a job writing about it, then she might as well go shopping!
Very quickly, the reader will understand the extent of her "illness". Short on cash, bank managers and credit card companies send her multiple letters encouraging her to contact them in order to discuss her credit situation. Rebecca, refusing to surrender, tries out some advise she received: Spend less or make more money. As she tries to curb her spending, she runs into some trouble and realises that this might not be the best approach for her. She then attempts to make more money. This leads to some more interesting situations. As she seeks refuge from her creditors at her parent's house, her life will take an interesting turn (for the better, let's hope).
This book makes for a fast, light summer read. Hopefully, you won't recognize yourselves too much in this character, but you will feel attached to her throughout the story.

Summary: Grab A Copy Of This Book and Say "Charge It!"
Comment: That's what our heroine, Rebecca Bloomwood, does fifty times a day. Clothes, make-up, scarves, boots, anything that has a price tag is fodder for Rebecca's shopaholic paradise. Unfortunately, Becky has maxed out her Visa, is getting threatening letters from her bank, and has borrowed from her roommate. Even more unfortunately, she can't curb her addiction to shopping. Sophie Kinsella gives us the funniest, most messed-up, and yet most endearingly vulnerable heroine of the year. If you've ever aspired to be trendy and glamourous but didn't quite have the budget to accomplish this, you'll laugh and cry along with Becky as she attempts the two biggest ways to achieve financial security---Cutting Back and Making More Money. Her attempts are disastrous, her failures hysterical. So, what does she do? She gives herself a little consolation prize...just a tiny little purchase, and another, and another....cause Becky was born to shop and couldn't stop if her life depended on it. As an added joy, she is also a financial journalist who writes articles advising others how to manage their money. Light, clever, and totally disarming, this is a quick, fun read sure to please anyone who gets an adrenaline rush walking into a mall.
I can't wait to read the upcoming sequel "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" for more side-splitting fun shopping with Becky!

Summary: This is a fun book
Comment: This is fun book. Becky, the main character, is a shopohoic who is dodging her creditors and trying to budget. She has a unique way of justifying all of her purchases that had me laughing out loud.
I just loved this book from start to finish! Only, I could relate to it a little to well in some places... :o)
