She'll help you get your life in order. She'll help you get your home in order. Or she'll at least help you place a take-out order.


"Cuisine is not merely a question of ordering a pizza�no! Many factors come into play�including finding the pizza menu, decision-making, and obtaining a clean knife with which to cut it.


How true this is of all life."


In this elegant and practical handbook, Bridget Jones�the intrepid thirty-something Singleton on a permanent but doomed quest for self-improvement�offers a road to perfection in the fields of cooking, streamlined inner thighs and poise, spiritual and romantic nirvana, accounting, an understanding of Feng Shui, what men think they might feel they want, and creating a fragrant home. She's read the self-help books�all of them. And committed most of them to memory. Now Bridget breaks out on her own to give readers the benefit�benefit?�of her rich experience.

Bridget Jones, the heroine from Helen Fielding's popular novels, takes it upon herself to write a self-help book for thirty-something-year old single women like herself. I would recommend reading this before reading Bridget Jones's Diary; otherwise you'll just get a 60-page rehashing of some of the novel's funnier parts. luckily, that's how I read it in the first place, so there were no problems for me.

Light, witty, insubstantial. I remember when I first bought this over 10 years ago I thought it was just as funny and brilliant as the Bridget Jones novels. Now it’s enough to entertain me for 45 minutes or so while waiting for my car to be serviced, but it didn’t make me laugh out loud like it used to – probably because it’s a very condensed version of recycled ideas from the novels, and contains very little new content.

A funny little add-on to the Bridget Jones's books. Re-read while watching UCONN vs. WVA.

I didn't expect much (differently than many other readers out there, especially those who left reviews here), so I wasn't disappointed. It is just Bridget Jones like stuff, probably how her journal would actually look like. Very quick, funny at times, overall enjoyable read. Would I read this again? Of course not. Would I recommend it to someone who hasn't read all Bridget Jones books (I definitely wouldn't.)
But for the time being, this one time reading experience was alright.
