About this listen

Bridget Jones is back and her life is as chaotic as ever in The Edge of Reason, the number one bestseller from Helen Fielding and the major motion picture starring Renée Zellweger.

'Could The Edge of Reason really be as funny as its predecessor? The answer is yes . . . Bridget, the original Singleton, is on ripping form' - Daily Express

Bridget Jones has finally found love with man-of-her-dreams Mark Darcy. The Wilderness Years are over! But for how long . . . and is the relationship really all she dreamed it would be?

Struggling with the challenges of a boyfriend-stealing beauty, an eight-foot hole in the wall and lunatic advice from her best friends, Bridget decides it's time for a spiritual epiphany. And so she departs Notting Hill for the sparkling shores of Thailand . . .

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.

Funny in parts but too rambling.

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

Not for me
