Title: Plot falters a bit at end, but hilarious & insightful
Review: Once again, Helen Fielding has made me laugh out loud, nod my head appreciatively, and inspired me to read passages out loud to anyone who will listen. "Edge of Reason" is a worthy successor to Bridget Jones I: hilarious, insightful, entertaining. The plot does lose focus toward the end with the introduction of a melodramatic Thailand twist. This portion of the book is unbelievable and self-conscious - makes you aware that Bridget is merely a character, rather than the very real person she is elsewhere in the book. But this relatively minor flaw was far outweighed by the pure, unadulterated pleasure I took in reading the book. Is this novel the literary equivalent of a "chick flick"? I don't think so; I think there is more than enough substance and humor to the book that no matter what your gender or marital status, you will enjoy it.
