I've never seen the movie version of this book, but I appreciate Helen Fielding's attempts at comedy by creating a female character so flawed and jinxed, that it's impossible not to fall in love with her. I found it fun, hilarious, fresh, charming and a great read. Bridget Jones sees life from such an interesting point of view. She is crazed, loony and neurotic, yet at the same time she is like so many of us. She makes promises to herself to better her life, but usually gets distracted by someone or something else along the way. You can't help but laugh at the misfortunes and misadventures of her life. Highly recommended!
