La puta Bridget que mal me cae a ratos pero q maja y como me rio. No pensando nada en global porque en algunas partes del libro me he aburrido pero con las ultimas 10 paginas de poco lloro de la risa por lo tanto, compensa. No iba a leerme el tercero pero ahora sí, creo que la echaré de menos incluso cuando los acabe

Fun read.

Bridget nunca decepciona.

En esta secuela, Bridget Jones sigue poniendo de manifiesto las inseguridades y dolores de las mujeres europeas, de clase media y mediana edad, de los años noventa, con todo el peso de los libros de autoayuda, el recuento de calorías y el bombardeo mediático de la fortaleza de la mujer trabajadora vs la solterona.
Sin embargo, es capaz de ejemplificar todo esto (y mucho más) sin perder el humor y con una sonrisa.

Me ha gustado mucho ir comparándolo con mi propia perspectiva y la de mi entorno, viendo dónde nos hemos estancado y dónde hemos avanzado.

Lo recomiendo enormemente, aunque solo sea por jugar al "es igualita que yo" o "pero esta chica está loca".

Además, está inspirado en la obra de Jane Austen "Persuasión", así que te sirve si quieres fingir que lees novela decimonónica.

Besitos,

Not quite as good as the original, nonetheless, spending more time with Bridget and her friends as they count alcohol units and worry about what underpants to wear on a date is a pleasant diversion.

toxic trait, enjoyed but annoyed.

4/5
Chyba naprawdę potrzebuję w swoim życiu Bridget ze wszystkimi jej pomysłami, załamaniami i dobrym humorem.

No recomiendo esta lectura a ninguna "Petulante Casada". Las treintañeras solteronas en cambio harán de éste su libro de cabecera.
Como yo xD
En serio, algún día dejará de hacerme gracia Bridget Jones, pero por suerte ese día lo veo todavía muy lejano... ¡Hurra!

O ile pierwsza część była fajna, tak ta...tragedia. Nie zamierzam jej kończyć. Język prosty, by nie rzec prostacki. Fabuła wybitnie nudna. No po prostu nie.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ four stars -

Four stars because I love Bridget Jones, and really, who doesn’t? It’s a modern day contemporary romance read that took over the publishing world, got a movie deal, and was hugely popular. What’s not to like?

Helen Fielding is uber talented and this series is a joy to read. Really, this doesn’t even need a review since everyone loves Bridget lol.

This second book in the Bridget series (there are four total) is not as good as books one or four, imo. It is still a good, quality read, though.

Definitely recommend to pass the time. Highly enjoyable four star read.

Bridget continues to turn being painfully shallow into an artform. I've no idea why I only gave this one 3 stars the first time I read it as, if anything, I found it funnier than the first book.

I have to say that Imogen Church does a fantastic job of reading the audiobook; at times I think she made the material funnier than it actually was through the strength of her performance.

Although Bridget Jones is still a fun and delightfully unpredictable character in this second instalment of Helen Fielding's series, there is simply too much presented, featured exaggeration and resulting disbelief for me to be able to totally and utterly (without reservations) enjoy The Edge of Reason. For while with the first book, with Bridget Jones's Diary, although Bridget often was indeed outrageous and even at times (and perhaps even rather regularly) inappropriate, she was still and usually engaged in antics that could easily and even normally happen (events, personal behaviours to which I could at least mildly and personally relate), whereas, at least for me, the majority of the scenarios presented, featured in The Edge of Reason, but especially the entire Thailand episode, simply feel a bit too strange, too over-the-top, interesting enough perhaps, but also somewhat alienating.

And thus, while definitely still for the most part an enjoyable and entertainingly light romp, with The Edge of Reason, I sometimes and perhaps even more than sometimes do tend to feel more like a dispassionate and even analysing (coldly critical) observer and monitor of Bridget, while with the first book, with Bridget Jones's Diary, I very much and often felt like I was Bridget (or at least that I could be Bridget), actually experiencing her frustrations, her dietary faux pax, her searches for the perfect man (and I just cannot seem dispense with my personal sense of disbelief with much of the action featured and presented in The Edge of Reason, simply because much of it is so far beyond my own personal experiences that it feels strange, even at times rather majorly disconcerting and disconnecting).

But all that being said and my issues with reality and exaggeration notwithstanding, The Edge of Reason does remain for me a generally enjoyable read and as such one which I do still heartily recommend for fans of Bridget Jones' Diary (but with the caveat that it is certainly nowhere near as good and as entertaining as the first book, and the additional personal warning to absolutely NOT bother with the second movie instalment, as it veers so far beyond the plot of the novel to be simply massively annoying and majorly frustrating).
