Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Bridget Jones’s Baby

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

A gloriously funny and touching story

Bridget Jones is as relevant and funny today as she has always been... Daniel [Cleaver] is not only alive and shagging, he also has the best lines… Again and again he comes up with smutty one-liners that steal the show

How can a reader not love this woman?

Helen Fielding is one of the funniest writers in Britain and Bridget Jones is a creation of comic genius

Bridget Jones is no mere fictional character, she's the Spirit of the Age

Fielding’s narrative diverts from the screen version: notably that feckless Daniel Cleaver, the original “fuckwit” in Bridget’s life is, gratifyingly, very much alive and central to the plot of the novel. "VG"

It’s a real fun read. The jokes are great and you find yourself rooting for Bridget and praying she gets the outcome she deserves

Before I read this book, I wondered whether there could possibly be anything left to tell. This book is absolutely necessary. At a time when the world seems especially dark and difficult, and sometimes stacked against women, Bridget Jones’s Baby is both a longed for slice of escapism and a real inspiration

It’s very, very good… Fielding reminds us once again she’s queen of encapsulating the female experience… Short, pacy and perfect

Pages devoured: 216. Embarrassing laugh-out-loud moments on public transport: numerous. Overall thoughts on latest Bridget Jones book: V.v.v. gd. Helen Fielding reminds us once again that she’s the queen of encapsulating the female experience in all its messy, funny and emotional glory… Short, pacy and perfect.

There’s delight to be had in sharing her happy ending.

With a deft wit, Fielding lampoons 21st century life but amongst the humour there are some serious points about the way in which we judge ourselves and others…[Fielding] is certainly back to her witty best.

A gloriously funny, touching story of baby-deadline panic, maternal bliss, and every kind of chaos.

The Bridget we were all clamouring to see.

More than enough chuckles to keep you turning the page.
