Review: Bridget Jones' Diary - Helen Fielding

Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding (v.g.).
If you didn't catch on v.g. = very good.

I don't really come across good comedy books often, but this book was definitely one of them. However, I think the readers who would enjoy this book will mostly be of the female sort. In the book/diary, Bridget has very entertaining "men are bastards" fests and lots of self-conscious and boyfriend drama. While Bridget may be an extreme case, I think there are facets of Bridget in every girl (certainly there are quite a number that I related too - mostly embarrassing ones). This is why I think the book is so funny (seriously, LOL funny) for us, because it is SO TRUE. Also, being that the book was written (very well I might add) as a diary, it seemed like Bridget actually wrote this. I highly recommend this book for women, especially reading in the tub with a glass of wine. If you have already seen the movie that's alright, I had and still thoroughly enjoyed it. Of course, the book would be much better if you hadn't.
