Publisher's Summary

The Wilderness Years are over. But not for long. At the end of Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget hiccuped off into the sunset with man-of-her-dreams Mark Darcy. Now, in The Edge of Reason, she discovers what it is like when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he hasn't done the washing-up, not just the whole of this week, but ever.

Lurching through a morass of self-help-book theories and mad advice from Jude and Shazzer, struggling with a boyfriend-stealing ex-friend with thighs like a baby giraffe, an 8ft hole in the living-room wall, a mother obsessed with boiled-egg peelers, and a builder obsessed with large reservoir fish, Bridget embarks on a spiritual epiphany. Bridget is back. V.g. The third installment in Bridget Jones' journey, Mad About the Boy, is out in October 2013.

Funny in parts but too rambling.

I remember the original Bridget Jones' Diary (read many years ago) being laugh-out-loud hilarious and much funnier than the movie, but this sequel was less impressive. There is plenty of humour in the clever use of language and Bridget's amusing observations about the people around her, but overall the story needed more rigorous editing. Some parts were drawn out or repetitive and made Bridget seem like such a twit that I wondered what Mark Darcy saw in her, although by the end I did feel convinced that Bridget's endearing cluelessness satisfied a lack in his life.

Imogen Church's narration is wonderfully expressive and added much to the entertainment value of the book. I could have done with a lot less of Bridget's overseas holiday crisis and her friends' disastrously helpful relationship advice. The Edge of Reason was just too long and wore out its welcome by the end.

Not for me

I was very disappointed. Couldn't listen to much of it. Don't bother with this, especially if you have seen and liked the movies. The movie is a thousand times better than the book which is very unusual
