Bridget Jones's Diary Helen Fielding
It's such a pleasure reading a book by a female author and finding out that she can write something to which you can relate so easily. By far, Helen Fielding has done a wonderful job on "Bridget Jones's Diary". Not only is the book funny, but the story and characters being believable, makes the book an utter treat. After a long, long time, have I come across a heroine that you can't not love. Bridget is not just the girl next door, she could well be your best friend...she could be you. Bridget is single, distressed with herself and her looks, she's dying to meet a nice guy and hates it when people ask her about her love life. Swinging on a tight rope of choices, where 1) She wants to be a modern woman- thin, successful and wanted and lusted for by men, and 2) She tried to fit into the old traditional life that demands her to get married now that she is past the age of 30.

"Oh, I thought it must be for you," she said. There are so many instances of Bridget Jones's (Helen Fielding's) hilarious sense of humor that I'd like to put here, as an example, but here's what I found funniest: en. Mark Darcy is the guy that mothers want their daughters to bring home, but Bridget finds it a little more than difficult to like this man. Whereas on the other hand, unattainable Daniel Cleaver seems to have a "thing" for her, and they start to have an affair. Complications soon follow, and Bridget's life slowly seems to be coming back to square one. But, lady luck shines on Bridget and most of the things fall in their right places. "OK," I handed it to her, she gave it back to me, giggling. I gave it back to her. I love girls.
