Product Description

When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones' Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced audiences to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature. The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and spawned a best-selling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.

The two books were turned into major blockbuster films starring Ren�e Zellweger, Hugh Grant, and Colin Firth. With her hotly anticipated third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Fielding introduces us to a whole new enticing phase of Bridget's life set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the skinny jean, the disastrous email CC, total lack of Twitter followers, and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a triumphant return of our favourite Everywoman.

1.0 out of 5 stars wish i'd listened to the reviews 23 Dec 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really mixed feelings about the book. the twitter /text stuff was soooo boring and I nearly gave up there. However as I got into the book, it became really depressing and as a 50 something myself a bit scary. But the dates didn't add up , she had a baby at 48? Then to finish it off she met a man so like Mark.. . No if you loved the 1st two books , keep away from this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Diappointed 27 Dec 2013
Format:Kindle Edition
What a shame, I loved the first two books. This one is boring, badly written and uses text conversations and Twitter rubbish far too often. Plus, what is the point of having a book about Bridget without Mr Darcy? Should have left it at 2 books- had to force myself to finish it.

2.0 out of 5 stars New Bridget Jones book 24 Nov 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This does not compare to Helen Fielding's previous books. It is boring and not really funny, It concentrates on twitter outpourings and is Bridget is no longer a character you can empathise with. Bad mistake to kill off Mark Darcy as there now seems to be a big gap in the story and it all seems unrealistic.
Unhappy previous Bridget Jones fan!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Banal 8 Jan 2014
By Bunting
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Disappointed that having turned fifty one and alone with two young children after the tragic and sudden loss of the love of her life, Bridget is infinitely more vacuous and self obsessed than when she was a singleton. This is a dreadful book on so many levels, particularly when there was so much scope to develop the central character into maturity while still retaining her sense of humour and self. There was no reference at all to the current economic climate which has impacted on so many, or even reference to social affairs apart from a brief reference to Kate Middleton's mothers penchant for coat dresses. Tiresome and unworthy of my time and the �1.99 spent on the Kindle version. I'm actually grateful that Mark Darcy is out of the frame so as to spare Colin Firth. I just hope the wonderful Rene Zellweger places her reputation above any temptation to try to bring this worn out character back to life.

I never write reviews normally but felt I had to warn people of this terrible book.
I quite enjoyed the original 2 books but the style of writing has not only become outdated and tired but also annoying and boring. I know Helen has tried to bring Bridget up to date but all the texting and tweeting is a bore to read, so I skipped over most of it. I couldn't wait to finish it but it was a slog.
Bridgit also seems to be 51 yrs old which doesn't quite work out with where she left off 15 yrs ago and yet has a son and a 4 yr old daughter, who seems to only flit in and out of her consciousness. She therefore is a terrible mother and very selfishly only thinks about herself and where her life is going.
Fielding is definitely thinking about her movie rites with this shallow written story.

Format:Hardcover
Diabolical.

Lovable, cuddly, foot-in-mouth, just-the-way-you-are Bridget is long gone. In her place is a 51 year old widow obsessed with finding a man (yes, still,- and while we're on the subject, what kind of a name is Roxster?!), losing weight (yes, still, - a referral to an obesity clinic at a size 14? Really Helen? Way to relate to a huge chunk of your original fans there...) and booze (mouthful of wine in the middle of a children's diarrhea/vomit incident? Really?).

As for "hilarious" - if you find nits, poo, vomit, farting, technophobia and juvenile name-calling among parents funny, then you'll split your sides within the first 150 pages. Otherwise, you'll sit as I did, cringing for this ridiculous woman.

Just keep in mind when reading this that Bridget is no longer in her thirties and trying to work out where her life is going. She's 51, with children raised by a Nanny (even though she doesn't work) and a stupid boyfriend. Her friends haven't grown up either, and her mother is still commenting on her life even though she's now in her seventies.

Helen seems to think we've all forgotten who Bridget is - lines from the first two books and films crop up repeatedly. "Daniel, my former emotional f*ckwit boyfriend and Mark's former arch-enemy" or "Running around naked on his parents lawn". Look, I'm all for finding love and discovering who you are no matter what your age, but when these characters are supposed to be in their fifties and they're still having telephone conversations that involve the words "what colour are your knickers, Jones?" - it's time to stop reading.

Helen made a huge mistake getting rid of one of the most popular characters, but she made an even bigger one by writing this drivel in the first place.

4.0 out of 5 stars A compelling read but slightly irritating too! 19 Nov 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book and if one has to be widowed then Bridget Jones is doing it in style.
I found the book very sad and very amusing at the same time but towards the end I began to wonder if Bridget Jones realised how lucky she really was.
Financially secure with a London House. Not having to work and with a daily cleaner and a nanny to help out. Baby sitters on tap and no dependant elderly relatives to worry about as they were in "retirement heaven' in their sheltered accommodation. Reality seems to have passed her by.

this is a travesty - a book about nothing with a heroine that doesn't have the appeal she did int he earlier books. Not worth the money

Bridget may be a decade older but she's essentially still the same. To be honest very little happens in first half of this book and then it all becomes a bit predictable. Read more

Bridget and I have both grown older, and grown apart it seems, as I found her irritating in this book. Reread the original, it's miles better.
