Title: Jane, have you met Bridget Jones?
Product review: Very amusing. A book of such cliches, lower-middle-class value and provincial taste can make it to the bestseller list and actually get good reviews. "Better than" Bridget Jones, did you say? Have you BEEN to London? (New York was still mud huts when that great city held the world at bay as THE metropolis.) And if being a copycat was not self-insulting enough, the author and/or editors and/or misguided readers constantly compared this work to the other, much sharper and wittier work by Ms. Helen Fielding. Bridget is not perfect, far from it; but she is devastating funny, and has the ability to laugh at her own silliness. She has all the charms, qualms and sexuality of an urban woman. Jane, however, is nothing but a sagging bag of self-pity. I hope Robert discovers he's gay and leaves her soon.
