Haha, I have missed Bridget. For some reason her life is so tumultuous and hilarious. :P This time Bridget is getting a baby, and who the father is? Well, it can be either Mark or Daniel... You can imagine how this is going to end. Yep, chaos and hilarity. I have to say I never liked Daniel in this whole series. I am not sure about Mark, he does seem to have things a bit better organised in life. :P
I definitely want to watch the movie now, though I am not sure as I heard that Daniel isn't in it (which is just weird considering he plays such a vital role in this one + in the others).
I was happy with Bridget, at first she was unsure but then she took her life and her that of her unborn child in her own hands and said screw you to everyone. Which btw, I would have done as well if my friends and potential father of my child acted like this.
I also loved that this whole book is in fact written for the baby (when he is older), which I found a lovely idea.

A nice, light popcorn read for the fans of Bridget Jones.

Ah, Bridget... familiar, clumsy, dipsy Bridget Jones. It's like opening up a much-loved box of chocolates and indulging. Sweet, well-known flavours, you know what you're getting.
Set between 'Edge of Reason' and 'Mad About the Boy', this volume is written to Bridget's very child, telling him (as we know it will be) the story of how he came to be... and maybe who his father is (if you've read MAtB this won't be a huge surprise).
Bridget and Mark have split up (find out why within), and five years later, she meets and beds him at a Christening, but after feeling rejected yet again, lets good-old-reliable Daniel Cleaver between the sheets and lo and behold. Weight gain and a pregnancy test later, and a daddy dilemma.
Mr and Mrs Jones are present and correct, all of Bridget's old London buddies still knocking about with the same lines they're known for, and now Cleaver and Darcy are both vying against each other as Bridget's due date comes closer. Who will stick around? Who does Bridget WANT to stick around? Will she ditch them both?
Les substance than in the original and MAtB, it's an 'inbetween' book in my eyes, though has some wonderful scenes and 'typical' Bridget misunderstandings and accidents.
Being pregnant myself, I felt this was glossed over somewhat, with only token scenes of childbirth classes and scans, not a lot of the physical demands of pregnancy.
There's a very silly doctor, some almost libelous 'will she be fired while she's pregnant?!' storylines at her work, and a lot feels like the most obvious of pregnancy stereotypes.
But I loved it anyway! Finished it in a day, knew where it was heading but laughed along with the plot and will very likely watch the DVD.
If you're a Bridget fan, you'll enjoy.

Fun, easy read. Exactly what you’d expect from a Bridget Jones book.
