Monday 27 January "7:15 a.m. Hurrah! The wilderness years are over. For four weeks and five days now have been in functional relationship with adult male, thereby proving am not love pariah as recently feared." Wednesday 5 March "7:08 p.m. Am assured, receptive, responsive woman of substance. My sense of self comes not from other people but . . .from . . .myself? That can't be right." Lurching from the cappuccino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, everyone's favorite Singleton Bridget Jones begins her search for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, and Smug Married advice. She experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of How to Find the Love You Want Without Seeking It (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay. Review: As good as the original - I couldn't put this book down--stayed up late 2 nights reading it--it's so good. After recently reading the original book, seeing the movie and watching the BBC Pride & Prejudice on DVD, I had to get this book, if only to read the Colin Firth interview (which Helen Fielding and Colin Firth "play acted" before she wrote this book). I was worried I wouldn't like this book because of the mixed reviews here and because the first book/movie have such a perfect ending. It didn't make sense to me to go beyond that ending (like writing a sequel to Pride & Prejudice). But I was pleasantly surprised to find this book as good as the original--just as funny and touching. And you don't have to be a Singleton to enjoy this book--I'm married but can still relate. The only hard thing, being an American, is understanding some of the English jargon. Makes me wish I had a dictionary of English slang or something. I can't wait to see the movie and find out how they will handle Colin Firth playing both Mark Darcy and himself. If you're a Jane Austen fan (as I am), this book has the same theme as Persuasion, though it doesn't follow the plot of Persuasion the way Bridget Jone's Diary has lots of plot points similar to Pride & Prejudice. Review: A fun and light read! - I've enjoy Bridget Jones movies very much, and have not read the books until very recently. I thought I'd give it a try, to see whether I liked the original as much as the film version of our heroine - Bridget Jones - and to my surprise I enjoyed the books as well. Although, coming to this book franchise after having watched the movies first, I must admit - I was looking for the books to follow the movies, which the first movie did, the second - not so much. After finishing The Edge of Reason, and it being so different from the film, I think I enjoyed this book more than the movie, because of its differences. The situations that Bridget got herself in were hilarious to read and the development of Mark Darcy's character was great. There are a great number of funny scenes and situations throughout this book. As everyone mentioned the Colin Firth interview - is very funny, and I was laughing out loud when Bridget was trying to buy a bikini: "Saturday 19 July 129 lbs. (why? On bikini-purchase day, why?), confusing thoughts about Daniel: too many, bikini bottoms fitted into 1, bikini tops fitted into: half, rude thoughts about Prince William 22, no. of times wrote "Prince William and his lovely date Miss Bridget Jones at Ascot" on Hello! magazine 7. 6.30 p.m. Bloody, bloody, bloody. Have spent all day in changing rooms of Oxford Street trying to squeeze my breasts into bikini tops designed for people with breasts either arranged one on top of the other in the centre of their chests or one under each arm, with the harsh downlighting making me look like River Cafe frittata. Obvious solution is one-piece but then will return with already squashily textured stomach highlighted against rest of body by whiteness." I enjoyed reading these books and would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun and light read. ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #282,092 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #832 in Humorous Fiction #2,270 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #7,214 in Contemporary Women Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,622 Reviews | ## Images ![Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NwAhHSGeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as the original *by M***E on May 24, 2002* I couldn't put this book down--stayed up late 2 nights reading it--it's so good.

Helen Fielding has done it again. She has crafted an entertaining and truly funny novel that is sure to entertain all but the most grumpy of readers. Where as most comic novels I read make me think their jokes are very clever, Fieldings jokes make me think they are clever and I am amazed at how creative she can be. This sort of humor is probably very difficult to sustain, but Fielding is a master. Bridget is a slightly silly person, a bit on the unrealistic side, but I suppose diaries (as this is) may include ones ultimate unrealistic fantasies (like being rescued by Colin Firth or Prince William). While Bridget is on the edge of reason, her on-again off-again boyfriend is the voice of reason and the perfect comic foil. Her friends are as wacky as she is and their antics are sure to amuse as are Bridget's comments about everyone and everything around her. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is solid entertainment and certainly worth reading. I seriously could not put it down after the first 50 pages.
