Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason: Summary and book reviews of Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason by Helen Fielding, plus links to an excerpt from Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason and a biography of Helen Fielding.

A new year begins - and Bridget Jones, the globally bestselling, unflinchingly self-disciplined, and definitely practically nonsmoking heroine, is about to discover what happens when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he hasn't been to the supermarket - not just tonight, but ever. Lurching from the cappucino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, searching for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, Smug Married advice ("I'm just calling to say in the potty! In the potty! Well, do it in Daddy's hand, then!"), Bridget experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of How to Find the Love You Want Without Seeking It (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay. Wednesday 5 March "7:08 p.m. Am assured, receptive, responsive woman of substance. My sense of self comes not from other people but from... from... myself? That can't be right." With another devastatingly hilarious, ridiculous, unnervingly accurate take on modern womanhood, Bridget Jones is back. (v.g.)

Media Reviews

Mademoiselle Bridget Jones is a joy and comfort, and Helen Fielding is bloody great.   Mademoiselle Bridget Jones is a joy and comfort, and Helen Fielding is bloody great.   San Francisco Chronicle Watching Fielding manipulate her crazy plot is a little like watching a high-wire artist cross a tightrope on a unicycle with a monkey on each hand. Fielding never falters. In fact, Fielding has created that rare thing a sequel that outshines its predecessor.   Sunday Times (London) Funnier and more accomplished than the original diary, and in fact takes recognition humor into a new dimension. Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason is a glorious read, and there is a laugh on every page.
