Okay, first I need to say, do not judge these books based on the movies. I absolutely loved these books ( The Edge of Reason was one of the worst movies of all time in my opinion, they absolutely slaughtered the book). Why do I love them so much?
First Bridget is a wonderful, quirky character. I love her. I love her friends. I love how they are muddling through life as best they can. I love her funny parents and their friends who are also just muddling through the best they can. Just like we all are. I love the style of writing. I love the way she keeps track of her alcohol units, weight, calories, and cigarrettes. I love it. I love it. I love it. I laughed so hard as I read these books.
Also as a huge fan of Jane Austen, I loved these books. Helen Fielding is also an Austen fan. Bridget Jones Diary is a modern take on Pride and Prejudice and Edge of Reason is a modern take on Persuasion.
I have read and re-read these books. Very entertaining and I love them.
Warning: they do contain language and some "adult themes".

Love, love, loved this book. Hilarious. I loved the second one as much too. They were both laugh out loud for me. I am so glad to not be single.
One of my favorites!
Just as a warning: language is an issue here. If you don't like cussing you might wanna say away.
