Summary

It's hard to believe there's a single woman on the planet who can't relate to Bridget Jones. Brought to life here by Imogen Church's playful narration, Bridget is as hopelessly irresistible - and just plain hopeless - as ever.

A dazzling urban satire of modern human relations? An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family? Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something? The third installment in Bridget Jones' journey, Mad About the Boy, is now out.

©1996 Helen Fielding (P)2013 Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd

Critic reviews

"A brilliant evocation of life as a single girl in a certain time... reads like Anita Loos out of Jane Austen, and any woman who has ever had a job, a relationship or indeed a mother will read it and roar" ( The Times)
"I cannot recommend a book more joyfully... Hilariously funny, miraculously observed, endlessly touching" ( Daily Telegraph)
"Wild comedy... observed with merciless, flamboyant wit. A gloriously funny book" ( Sunday Times)

superbly funny - story and narration

Would you consider the audio edition of Bridget Jones's Diary to be better than the print version?

I never read the print version, its only because it was available in audio that I actually read/listen to the book. Would not read the book as like my memory of Imogen doing Bridget

What other book might you compare Bridget Jones's Diary to, and why?

Bridget JOnes Diary - Edge of Reason, as they are part of the same series. Haven't read/listened to any other books like this

Have you listened to any of Imogen Church’s other performances? How does this one compare?

As above, but I intend to listen to more of her work - totally amazed by her performances - superb

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Here she goes again

Any additional comments?

thanks to Imogen's amazing narration, I now prefer her version of Bridget to the famous Renee Zelwegger's film version of her charactor

Such a comfort listen

Really enjoyed this narrator. Felt she brought Bridget to life perfectly. This had always been a cosy comfort read for me and the audio book did not let me down at all. I didn’t realise just how much I skimmed over Bridget’s weight records at the beginning of each entry until listening to this book. But enjoyed everything about this listen. Will definitely be a go to when need something easy listened too and in need of a laugh at some of the antics.

Just what I’d hoped

Having read the book and watched the film countless times, I thoroughly enjoyed the audible version! Imogen Church was the perfect choice.

Classic book

Always loved this book, and was very excited to have an unabridged audiobook available. Superbly narrated by Imogen Church. A modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice incorporating the neurotic thoughts of a single thirtysomething women just looking for happiness. Warm and charming and laugh out loud funny - a fantastic piece of escapist fiction.
