Title: Derivative and predictable -- sad, really.
Review: After having thoroughly enjoyed the first Bridget Jones book, I was all set to love the second. What a let down. The charm from the first book is completely lacking here. This reads like a strained attempt to get a second book on the market quickly -- hurried and without true feeling. Many of the same situations from the first book are repeated here, and they just seem ridiculous the second time around. Many of the British words and phrases which gave the original Bridget Jones its personality have been done away with. No more "stones," now Bridget is weighing herself in pounds. We already know that Helen Fielding has talent to spare . . . hopefully she will choose to USE it in her next book.
