Summary: Unrealistic and insulting
Review: This book is insulting to all full figured women. She never loved herself as she was - she had to get skinny (in an unhealthy way) to appreciate herself. She was fine the way she was (and 217 lbs on a 5'7" frame is not "100 lbs overweight"). Jemima (sorry - could not STAND the name, reminded me of bottled syrup) never suffered the consequences of starving herself and over - exercising. Any woman engaging in that behavior would have collapsed or lost hair. If you want to read an empowering book, read "Good in Bed". Forget this pap.

Summary: Cute story about being overweight and wanting love.
Review: Well this is a story of a woman Jemima Jones who in the start is overweight and head over heels for Ben Williams. IT starts off a little bit slow with her daily life and what she does and how she does it but towards the middle of the book it picks up.I loved the way Jemima started chatting with Brad online but I felt that there was much more that should have been told about what happen between her and Brad before she went out to California. But when she got in her head to lose the weight the story picked up. It is very much like many woman who try to lose weight they go and work out and get down to the weight they wanted. Well in the end I think that what Brad did to her was terrible and that her friendship with Lauren really made the book flow well because she needed another woman there to be able to convey what she was feeling. And in the end I loved how she found Ben and how she got to go back to London and be with Ben. I can't wait to read more from Jane Green.

Summary: Enjoyed every minute of the ride
Review: Jane Green breathes new life into the the singles scene in Jemima J. I had trouble putting it down, which has become increasingly easy to do with the recent influx of novels featuring twenty-something single woman lacking in the self-confidence department. It was never drawn out and played brilliantly in your head as if it were a movie you were watching in a theater. Through the entire novel you are pulling for JJ to get her act together, and even when you think she's got it down, fate tosses her another curve ball. So much fun, I was sorry when it was over.

Summary: Jemima J: Pure Fluff with a London Accent
Review: Jemima J is a very fluffy tale of an overweight Londoner journalist named Jemima, her miraculous weight loss transformation, and her search for romance and love. The novel offers quite a few contradictions and mixed messages, as well as a heavy reliance on farfetched coincidences and fate. While the book is engaging (its style reminds me of a poor man's Bridget Jones and the point of view switches from Jemima to an omniscient narrator, back to Jemima, and then to other main characters), the insistence that beauty equals goodness grates on one's nerves after awhile. But once Jemima finally achieves happiness and understands that life as a size 8 doesn't necessarily equate to perfection, the story redeems itself a bit. Jemima J is a Cinderella story, and if you can't resist a girl finding her Prince Charming, check it out of the library for a relaxed Saturday afternoon read.

Summary: pleasant but could be better
Review: After ready some of Jane Green's other work I decided to try out Jemima J, but I didn't find myself completely wrapped up in it like other Brit girl books I have read in the past. I guess it had to do with the descriptions of Jemima, who at 217 lbs may sound fat but being 5'7 would not be as huge as Jane Green made her sound. I did however like the fact that it is a fairy tale story since it takes my mind off of my own present problems in life. Rent it from the library first I would recommend, it's free.

Summary: Uplifting!
Review: The beginning of the book is a little hard to follow because the author bounces around narrating but, this fades as you get further. It's a little predictable but that's easy to overlook with such an uplifting romance. I wanted more information in the conclusion, it's one of those books that you don't want to end. Perfect chic book, get a hot cup of coffee and let Jemima become your best friend.

Summary: Jemima J : A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans
Review: I really enjoyed this book. The thing that always seems to make me angry is the fact that they are always going on about their weight. Other than the fact that the time alloted for weight loss is unrealistic, it the story is fun and light hearted. Loved it!

Summary: Obsessed with your weight? This book is for you...
Review: Jemima Jones brought out some issues that no other book ever did. Sixty percent of America is overweight and most americans are so obsessed with dieting just like Jemima Jones. Jemima Jones is an example for the other people like her, people who are overweight and are/is having a hard time trying to fit in into our society.
