I find Bridget to be both highly annoying and very endearing. This is a fairly funny book, I chuckled alot and genuinely laughed a few times. It's the fourth book though, and I think my tolerance for the irritating aspects of her character are a little lower. While I enjoy the books, this is one of those cases where I prefer the films.

Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries (Bridget Jones #4), Helen FieldingIn this gloriously funny, touching story of baby-deadline panic, maternal bliss, and social, professional, technological, culinary and childbirth chaos, Bridget Jones - global phenomenon and the world's favorite Singleton - is back with a bump.تاریخ نخستین خوانش: روز بیست و هشتم ماه سپتامبر سال 2015میلادیعنوان: بچه برژیت جونز؛ نویسنده: هلن فیلدینگ؛از این کتاب فیلمی نیز با همین عنوان: «بچه بریجت(برژیت) جونز» در سال 2016میلادی، و

The book has the same funny, lovable, self-deprecating voice as the first Bridget Jones book. Bridget's views of pregnancy veer from moving and tender, i.e,, when she refuses amniocentesis for fear of harming her baby -- to hilarious, i.e., when she tells people the baby is actually an elephant. One criticism: The scenes where she is working in the TV studio and talking into various teleprompters are hard to understand because the action can only be conveyed visually -- as they are successfully

I give up. You win, Fielding, you win. I did not want to read this. I was certain I was going to hate it, falling as it did between The Edge of Reason and Mad about the Boy. Particularly as it was going to show a distinct break in Bridget and Mark's relationship. BUT. But I remembered that I thought the same about Mad about the Boy and ended up loving that book so I grudgingly ordered it from the library (there have to be some perks as a librarian, right?) It arrived today and I read it in a cou...

I'll admit that for the first half of this book I was calling it 'Bridget Jones and the Movie Tie-In Cash-Grab' and it all just seemed like a rehash of the first book, with the added wrinkle of Bridget's pregnancy.In the second half, however, I think Fielding really stepped up a gear and did some of her best writing yet. There were some genuine laugh-out-loud moments and I almost got a little misty eyed in places.Still, I didn't much care for the Royal visit subplot and I can't just overlook the...

Full review to follow. I did really enjoy this book but it was a bit short for my liking.

Confession time: I am a HUGE fan of Bridget - the books and the movies. I just love that she is a really good person, but so far from perfect it's not even funny, well actually it is. I listened to the audio on a day I knew was going to be a really bad day, and it helped so much. I was giggling and laughing out loud, and it felt like I was surrounded by old friends. There is nothing deep (or very new) to this (2.5) book in the series, and it's a novella more than a book, but I for one, loved it....

I have always been a huge fan of the Bridget Jones's diary series. I've seen all the films and read all the books. With out a doubt Bridget is a hugely loveable character.Having watched the movie and having one of the main characters sadly missing, I was so pleased to see that Daniel is very much in the actual book. It just wouldn't be the same without him. Even though I loved the film, I do think it would have been absolutely perfect if it had been in keeping with the book but obviously Hugh Gr...

Who doesn't love Bridget Jones?????? She's just one of those characters that seems to have endeared herself to readers because we can all see traces of ourselves in her. And then there are the film adaptations which have made her a global icon of sorts!So book one and book two in the Bridget Jones series correspond with film one and film two; there are some plot and character differences between the two but for the most part the story is the same.Then there was the third book.... Mad About the B...

I am going to keep this review short and sweet, just like this novella.If you have read the Bridget books or seen the movies and liked it then you wont be disappointed in this novella that falls between book 2 and 3. And the whole time I was listening I was craving a glass of ice cold white wine....I wasn't crazy about the audio narrator but you get used to her after a while. This was quintessential Bridget, perfect for a girly road trip.

I'm a massive fan of the Bridget Jones series and this one did not disappoint. I was howling with laughter and crying with sadness all in one sitting.If you need a pick me up that's not too heavy, this is definitely the book for you.

I saw the film before reading this. I missed Hugh Grant's character of Daniel Cleaver in the film, so I was pleasantly surprised when reading this to find that Daniel was the other possible father of Bridget's baby alongside Mark Darcy (in the film, Daniel is replaced with Jack played by Patrick Dempsey).I found it quite funny at first and of course everytime I read Daniel's lines, I just picture him as Hugh Grant and how Hugh seems to talk in real life but of course as always, Daniel has never

Very funny. I think actually overall I have enjoyed the films of Bridget Jones far more than the books (I know, shoot me!).Bridget is stuck with a quandry in this book - she's pregnant, but doesn't know who the father is; is it Mark or Daniel? And can she persuade both of them to a) take it seriously and b) be supportive?It follows a similar pattern to the other books - everything going wrong then every thing works out for the best. I found it amusing still and I was very relieved by the ending!...

I don't understand why this was written. It feels like a waste of my time.

Unfortunately the weakest in all these books. Read in 2 hours. Same phrases as the other books, far less humour. So disappointed

I'll start by explaining my Bridget Jones history for context. I've read Bridget Jones's Diary and I read Edge of Reason. I've watched all three movies, then read the book Bridget Jones's Baby. I won't read Mad About the Boy because I just can't deal with that plot twist. Anyway, that's my history with this character.I don't know whether this book was written before or after the Bridget Jones's Baby movie. There's a pretty significant difference between the two.In the movie, Bridget is either pr...

3.5 starsThis book has the unlucky distinction of following a pretty perfect movie and an even more perfect script (seriously, go read the script). It suffers as a result.I've been dying to read Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries for ages, since before the latest movie debuted. It finally arrived this morning. I finished it about 30 minutes ago. My feelings about this book are a little complicated. I’ll try to explain.This book is different from the movie in a few ways. The movie’s like they too...

My other reviews for this series:Bridget Jones's DiaryBridget Jones: The Edge of ReasonMad About the BoyOh, how much I wish to have read 'Mad About the Boy' last because I loved it and it would have been a great ending to the series. Unfortunately, I read the books in the publishing order because I got them from my library and didn't know better. Yes, I started to like Bridget more as the series continued after not really having a connection with her in book 1 (and for the main part in book 2).

It's just like Bridget to write a baby diary, none of her offspring could read without cringing!
