Bridget is back, with all her self-help books and cigarettes, but this time she's got a man. Or does she? Is her staring scaring him off? Maybe, since January 27th, at 7:50, Mark Darcy woke up yelling, "Bridget will you stop. Bloody. Staring at me when I am asleep. Go find something to do." This book is as witty as the first, and a bit longer, for those readers who felt the year went by a bit quickly last time. Now she's got a whole new set of adventures, from being suspected of having human body parts in her bag to being arrested for drug trafficking while boarding a plane back to England from Thailand. Clever and engaging, Bridget is as endearing as she was before, and this time she meets her idol, Colin Firth! Read the entire transcript of the interview, most of which centers on her fascination with the wet-shirt scene from the A&E, BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. Overall, an entertaining novel that leaves the reader glad to be a woman. Or a man, for that matter. V. v. g. "Was nightmare in shoe shop. Just trying on brown square-toed high-heeled '70's style shoesin Office feeling v. deja-vu-esque for all those back-to-school times buying new shoes and fighting with bloody Mum about what they were allowed to be like. Then suddenly had horrifying realization: was not freaky sense of deja-vue--they were the exactly the same shoes I had in Six Lower from Freeman Hardy Willis... Am going home." |
