Thoughts: She’s a hoot!
When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones’ Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced readers to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature.
The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and spawned a bestselling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.
The two books were turned into major blockbuster films, starring Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.
With this third instalment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, fielding introduces readers to a whole new world in the life of Bridget Jones.
It is set in contemporary London and includes the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting, the disastrous email cc, total lack of Twitter followers and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.
She’s back, her life is upside down, she has new challenges to deal with and it has kept up with the times.
Bridget is living the everyday life we all can relate to.
