Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: A WONDERFLY FUNNY BRIT COM IN BOOK FORM!
Summary: 5 Stars
IT'S EASY TO SEE HOW THIS FUN READ MADE IT TO THE TOP OF THE NY TIMES BEST SELLER LIST!! THE BOOK WAS ALSO CHOSEN BY AARP MAGAZINE. THIS BOOK WOULD EVEN BE A GREAT GIFT FOR THE PERSON WHO DOES YOUR EYEBROWS! I LAUGHED ALOUD OFTEN! I ENJOYED THIS READ SO MUCH, THAT I'VE ALSO READ MANY OTHER OF MS. KINSELLA'S BOOKS AND SHARED THEM WITH FAMILY AND GIRLFRIENDS!Book Review: A bit more than OK
Summary: 4 Stars
After much debating, I finally caved and bought this book. At first, I thought that the main character was self absorbed and shallow and that I wouldn't like her. However, after reading further in the story, I found her somewhat 'charming'.
Needless to say, I found the book enjoyable. I couldn't really relate to the main character but I somehow lived vicariously through her. Also, the other characters were fun to read about.
The plot was very predictable, but that didn't take away from the fun of the book. Overall, it was quite funny and entertaining.
Book Review: A great ending to this series...
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that even though Becky was really starting to annoy me as each book kept coming, I felt that I should continue the series. Well, I read Shopaholic & Sister and Shopahlic & Baby back to back. Although Becky still annoyed me (Don't we all wish we had people to save us from all our mess-ups!?) I thought she ws much more enjoyable as a soon-to-be mom. Plus, the shopping is for a baby and not her constantly! I do hope this is the final book of the series because it definitely summed up all the books and made me enjoy the character again! This is a fun and quick read!Book Review: Absolutely dreadful
Summary: 1 Stars
While attempting to read this book, I could not stop my gag reflex from releasing vomit into my throat. I have never in my life tried to read such a dreadful, plotless piece of tripe before. I slightly enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret? and was looking for another light read. This was so light it floated away on a sea of disgust. The book is 99% dialogue, i.e. there is no plot. The main character is heinously insipid. I refused to donate this book to be sold as used to prevent someone else from having to waste their time with this horrid book.Book Review: Absolutely my favorite out of the entire series!
Summary: 5 Stars
I could not put the book down! I stayed up until 1:00 am to finish it. I absolutely loved it. I found myself hysterically laughing at so many parts in the book (Becky's mum and Janice talking about what labor was really like & the names Becky told Elinor they were considering.... so funny!). The story brought so many memories back of my own first pregnancy and the fears I felt about labor and being someone's mother. Also, that first time you see that little baby and the feeling that comes over you - Sophie Kinsella hit it on the head! Then there was the serious parts too when Becky thought she had lost Luke (and I don't blame her for feeling that way either). All around, it was just a FABULOUS book! I know Sophie Kinsella has said she will bring Becky & Luke back, I really hope this is true (she just HAS to - too much is left unfinished)and that she does it sooner rather than later (that's for my own selfish reasons - LOL). In fact, I hope she brings them back in several more books (for those who think the story is over, you don't have to buy them - there are plenty of us who will GLADLY keep on reading them).
