As the prequel I read it again. and even though I had a huge exam (linguistics) I managed to finish this on every fast.
As some of you might know this one is based on Persuasion, like it's prequel was based on Pride and Prejudice (both by Jane Austen). the first one may have the best plot, and usually sequels aren't as good. but let me just say this: the edge of reason (the book ) is by 1000000000 times better than the film. the only advantage that the film has is the fact that there are Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth. and the fact that Hugh Grant has a big rule in the film (talking about the 2nd here) was a very unnecessary.
In the second book Bridget is more mature (IMHO), eventhough she's persuaded by her friends to leave her boyfriend - perfect and dashing Mr. Darcy.
The book contains amusing lines, hilarious scenes, and whatever you can find to read for pleasure. and it's like the first one, so true and Bridget is still one of us, she represents the girls. every single girl has at least a little Bridget in herself.
But what was even more fascinating about this book is rule of Colin Firth as Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. he was mentioned a lot of times in this books, and there's a chapter where Bridget herself goes to interview him in Rome, asking him about Mr Darcy. hilarious interview, cannot be missed, and it's too bad it only appeared as an extra on DVD.
IF it was up to me, I would read this one again and again for all my life. I LOVE Bridget Jones and LOVE MR DARCY/COLIN FIRTH.
Bridget Jones the Edge of Reason
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding
I've read this book before, and suddenly found it available in the library, so I took it to read it again. because I always wanted to read it again. it's one of top favorite books. SIMPLY LOVE IT.
the problematic thing about this book is that it never takes long, and I always wished it did. I finish it too soon and immediately run to read the sequel, and I'm waiting in vain till the sequel be available to take from the library. even though I have huge exams (for the end of the semester), and I wouldn't have time to read, I always could find a room for Bridget Jones.
This might sound sort of weird, since Bridget Jones is 30 something, and I'm not even 20 yet. But that's what so special about it, you don't need to be 30 something to enjoy this book.
I LOVED how this book is based on Pride and Prejudice (my favorite book of all times), and it's like the best modern version. and Mark Darcy is the best modern Mr Darcy, specially when it's based on and played by Colin Firth. And even at one point Bridget watches the mini series of P&P and starts comparing Mark Darcy to Mr Darcy. Simply Hilarious. the whole book is hilarious. and the way it's written is even more hilarious. I adapted the way that Bridget writes the diary, and I'm writing a diary that has the same style (not exactly the same, but pretty close).
what's so special about this book that's it's so true. everything that happens to Bridget is so true, she tells the truth, she doesn't hide anything, and what she tells is exactly what every girl wants to tell. and what happened to Bridget, happend to all of us. she has been through all our embarrassing moments. and I think Bridget herself would be the only one to understand us all.
We are ALL Bridget Jones. every girl has a little Bridget in herself.
this book is far more better than the film (the only advantage in the film that it actually has Colin Firth as Mark Darcy, and there's Hugh Grant as Daniel Cleaver and of course the sweet Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones).
