Critic reviews

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

A glorious read . . . there is a laugh on every page.

The best, the original, the seminal.

Devastatingly funny.

Favorite fiction ever!

I love her style of writing, and I love, Mark, Darcie and Bridget so much! Excellent character development lots of humor lots of relatable things excellent story I loved every minute of it! I listened to this on Audible, I love the reader’s perfect English accent

Way better than the film version

What did you love best about Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason?

I was hesitant to read it since I had watched the movie first and it was a total flop, but I am so glad I did. I feel as though some of the events merged with events that were included in the first film, which may be why the film deviates so much from the book. Still, there were more suspenseful parts of the book which were sadly left out of the film. It goes without saying, the book was better than the movie.

What other book might you compare Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason to and why?

Other than its predecessor, I'd have to compare the series to an adult version of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries. Light-hearted, humorous romps.

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed the meat purse fiasco.

If you could take any character from Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Mark Darcy...because I'd have to steal him away from Bridget, of course!

Any additional comments?

If you were a fan of the first book/movies, you'll enjoy it!

Hilarious fun

Inner Bridget definitely listens and laughs , narrator speaks clearly and with verve , yielding a delightful story

L.O.V.E.

Love Imogen Church.
Love Bridget Jones.
I have listened to this & the first diary over 5 times each. Genuinely. I love them. There's just something about them. Super lame review, I know, but my love clouds my ability to be analytical.

Too funny!

I love Bridgette! I just want to sit in a pub and get pissed with her and her friends. Smart and so relatable to the singletons of the world. Narrator is phenomenal!
