Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: Review for Shopaholic and Baby
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was the most emotional book out of all of them I think. It may have been because Becky was pregnant so her emotions spread to me, or because her marriage was being threatened, but it did make me cry. I usually don't cry over books, but for a couple seconds I truly believed that Luke was cheating on her, but I quickly snapped out of that. It was kind of hard to imagine Becky pregnant the whole book, but she reminds you constantly of her big belly and swollen feet. This book might have had some of the funniest parts too Kinsella has written. I would frequently laugh out loud while reading it and run to the nearest person and tell them all about what Becky was up to now. She has matured a little since the first book, for she is a mother now, but her childlike ways always come back at the worst times, making for a hilarious novel that will grip your emotions to the fullest.Book Review: Same Becky as ever
Summary: 4 Stars
If you have enjoyed the Shopaholic series in the past then you will enjoy this too. I found this particular adventure of Becky's even more fanciful than they others.
In this book,as the title probably gives away, Becky is pregnant with her first baby. She has her same wacky adventures mostly related to Pram shopping but she is dealing with a potentially cheating husband.
The caricature of her conniving OB and her husband are kind of over the top and Kinsella works so hard to sell the cheating senario that as she wraps up the book a lot of the pieces don't fit together.
I also wasn't totally on board with Becky's pregnancy experience, having had two kids myself it didn't feel very realistic to me.
Having said that, I gave the book 4 stars because it is just plain fun to read. So bottom line, if you are a shopaholic fan, you will enjoy this too, just don't wait for it to get the pulitzer.

Can Becky get any funnier? Why yes she can! There's a baby on the way and Becky is ready to shop! And of course get into the practice of a celebrity obstetrician! Imagine her dismay when the doctor turns out to be one of Luke's ex girlfriends! And she's after Becky's man! How in the world will Becky handle this one? And will she manage to get everything the baby needs in time? The fifth book is wonderful and you'll love it just as much as all of the others!Book Review: Shopaholic & Baby
Summary: 4 Stars
Becky Bloomwood is back... but was it worth it? I'm still pretty strong in my convictions that Ms. Kinsella should have stopped two books ago. This isn't to say that it's a weak book, it's just, like Meg Cabot has repeatedly said when asked if she'll continue Mediator/1-800, after everything eventful has happened, the convoluted situations can lead to nothing good. Kinsella has already taken the time (three books) to establish the strong bond between Becky and Luke--only to randomly (seemingly) break it in this one? Quite annoying, really. I felt like everyone's characters seemed to break a little bit, and the one relationship that I really did like the developments in, Jess and Tom, didn't really have a satisfying ending...or much of an ending or beginning at all. Will there be more books, then? It would seem like overkill, although I would personally love a spinoff focusing solely on Jess and Tom. I still did love how Kinsella wove all those stories together, eventually bringing them all back. Well done, and I was very glad to hear that Becky has a daughter--another future Shopaholic--we just couldn't have it any other way!
Rating: 4/5

The latest in the Shopaholic series is hilarious and heartwarming and just a load of fun to read. I couldn't put it down. I have become a Sophie Kinsella adict, and I am happy to be one!
