Summary

A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations?

An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family?

Or the confused ramblings of a pissed 30-something?

Critic reviews

"Wild comedy....observed with merciless, flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book." ( Sunday Times)
"I cannot recommend a book more joyfully....Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching." ( Daily Telegraph)
"A brilliant evocation of life as a single girl in a certain time...reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen, and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship, or indeed a mother will read it and roar." ( The Times)

Great!!!

I love Bridget Jones, it is so funny, as well as dramatic and romantic. However, it is a shame that only an abridged version is available!

Fantastic. Shame it's abridged...

July 15th. Just finished listening to Bridget Jones' Diary. As a result, I will:

1, Declare Tracie Bennett to be new goddess of narration and will erect shrine in dedication to awesome talents in bedroom.

I Will Not:

1. Listen to audio books narrated by perverts, morons, or the overly verbose.
2. Eat more than 2000 calories per day.
3. Keep this bloody shrine in bedroom. It's a monstrosity and the dogs keep peeing on glossy picture of Tracie. Thank god it's laminated!
4. Looking at empty box of Maltesers on floor... I'll work on #2 tomorrow.

My only criticisms is that the whole book is on just one file, which means if you want to listen to it in bed and you're going to sleep, the book'll play the entire file. It would be lovely to have the file divided up into a number of easily manageable parts...
