Summary: Ugggh!!!!!!
Review: This book is a perfect example why financial journalists' should stick to numbers. Did the author not consider seeking the advice of a literary advisor? The character's are underdeveloped and boring. And the plot? Just add water and you have the identical plot of any other 'chicklit' out today. Will she find love? Will she save money? Oh gosh, I'm so concerned! Will she survive without her "pot's of moisturizer"? Unimaginative and shallow to say the least. Take some advise along with the main character, save your money by not purchasing this book.

Summary: Light-hearted fun!
Review: Sophie Kinsella's novel "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is refreshing and fun to read. I read it in a few hours the other night and just loved it! Fortunately I had already purchased the two sequels (Shopaholic Takes Manhatten and Shopaholic Ties the Knot) so I jumped right in and read some more!Becky Bloomwood is a hip English 20-something who has a serious addiction to shopping! She can't help but stop in the shops after work (she writes for a financial magazine called Successful Saving), and then when she sees that gorgeous scarf.. how can she possibly resist? So out comes the Visa! But when that Visa bill comes at the end of the month, Becky can hardly believe she managed to spend THAT much money in such a short period of time. She then has to come up with some creative solutions to her financial woes, or else her credit cards might be turned off! The antics between Becky and her credit card company and bank manager are hilarious! Sophie Kinsella writes a lot of it in letter form, which is just plain funny. Becky's relationship with Luke Brandon is the one part of the story I felt could have been better. I like most of the interactions between them - but I did want more. We barely saw Luke during most of the story, I would have preferred a few more interactions between them. I thought the shopping expedition between the two of them was great - especially Becky's reaction when she finds out they're picking out luggage! Overall, it's a fun, light read. I read the entire book in a matter of a few hours and read the sequel later that night. All the characters are fun and interesting, with unique (yet realistic) personalities. I highly recommend this book, it's a riot!

Summary: Pretty Funny!
Review: I picked up this book at a Walmart over thanksgiving (I needed something to distract me from the relatives). I actually didn't think the book would be that good, but after the first few pages, I could relate to the main character. Her ups and downs were a little similar to Bridget Jone's, but the money aspect clearly differentiated the plots...all-in-all: A pretty good read for a vacation...it was so darn funny!

Summary: OMG - Laugh out Loud
Review: The funniest book I have read in years! People on the airplane must have thought I was insane!! If you liked Bridget Jones, then get ready for Becky, because she is about 5x's funnier. The author did an Excellent job of surprising the reader, and the twists and turns were hysterical. Several times I had to close the book for a minute, because I was cringing at what Becky had gotten herself into. A modern, single Lucille Ball - but instead of Ricky getting her out of the tricky situation, she goes shopping! Great Christmas present!!

Summary: Great Summer Read
Review: The Shopaholic books are excellant for no-brainer humor and entertainment. If you feel like reading an amusing series, grab a glass of wine or cola, relax and have fun. Great easy reading when you just want to have fun and not use your brain cells. If you enjoyed Bridgett Jones or The Nanny Diaries, you will probably enjoy this one, too.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: I honestly thought this book was brilliant.... Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. It is written with an incredible British humour (Bridget Jones type... but funnier), plus it is filled with very realistic situations, and real life places making it easier to picture. The book is about the very complicated life of a superficial Becky Bloomwood, who lives to shop and shops to live...
What I loved about her was that she could be anyone... of course... she goes a bit too far.. but I am sure most of us have used our credit cards when we shouldn't have, or bought things we didnt actually need but convinced ourselves we couldn't keep breathing is we didn't have them, and afterwards couldn't figure out how to pay for them, and so on... The book is also filled with very specific details (which proves the author did some research concerning shops and prices) and is, in my opinion a wonderful insight into Becky's mind, especially when trying to justify her shopping habits.... simply fabulous!!
It kept me laughing from cover to cover... and thats a bit hard to achieve. READ IT! You won't regret it!!!
