Review by Linda
Waldemar on 12 September 2001
Funnier and truer to life than Bridget Jones's Diary. A true sequel,
we get to know the characters introduced in BJD better. Shazzer, Jude and
Tom are fleshed out. And Mark Darcy is a real darling; kind, sensitive
and vulnerable.
This story is a mixture of P&P and Persuasion. Rebecca
is a mixture of Caroline Bingley and Lousia Musgrove. Then there's Giles
Benwick and Admiral Darcy. We see little of Mark's mother, Elaine, but
she reminded me of Mrs. Gardiner. And Bridget's Mum is just as silly and
unrepentant as Lydia.
It was fun living through the misunderstandings, uncertainties
and anxieties of Bridget, Mark and the friends. I think that this book
is better than the first so I highly recommend it.
Can hardly wait for the sequel to the movie!
