Resumen del Editor

"Sunday 1 January: 129 lbs. (but post-Christmas), alcohol units 14 (but effectively covers 2 days as 4 hours of party was on New Year’s Day), cigarettes 22, calories 5424."

From its beginning as a weekly column in a British newspaper, Bridget Jones’s Diary quickly became a best-seller in England. After gaining international popularity, it also shot to the top of the New York Times best-seller list. A 30-something single professional, Bridget Jones prefers a diary to a day planner for tracking her life. Each entry is an honest and hilarious step in her endless quest for self-improvement. ("New Year’s Resolution: Go to gym three times a week not merely to buy sandwich.") Caught between match-making relatives, other singles, and smug marrieds, Bridget records the triumphs and faux-pas of her life in this diary.

Funny, witty, and, at times, charmingly innocent, Bridget Jones’s Diary has a voice that is absolutely authentic. You’ve seen the Bridgets of the world trot by on their way to the office or gym. Now, through Barbara Rosenblat’s narration, you’ll spend some wonderful hours in the company of one. But be warned: from the very first line, you’ll be laughing out loud and looking for friends to introduce to this wonderful young woman.

If you could sum up Bridget Jones’s Diary in three words, what would they be?

Smart, funny, endearing

What did you like best about this story?

BrIdget is so very real. Having been a singleton myself, I can easily relate to her dating ups and downs.

What does Barbara Rosenblat bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Ms Rosenblat does a great Brit.

Who was the most memorable character of Bridget Jones’s Diary and why?

Bridget, of course! She has such inner poise. Mark Bloody Darcy is a great character too.

Any additional comments?

One of my all time faves. Sits high atop the Chick Lit genre. Nothing else comes close.

Finally...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I've been waiting for this book to become available so I can stop borrowing it on (heaven forbid) cassette tape from my public library. It is one of the best long trip car books EVER!!

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

The performance is the perfect balance for this book - just snarky enough without going overboard.

My inner Bridget peeks her head out sometimes!

If you've seen the movie than you will definitely like the book better! So full of zany and relatable situations. I think we've all had a bit of those situations. A light herated, fun and easy story.

Barbara Rosenblat is the best!

Out of all the narrative versions of Bridget Jones Diary, Barbara Rosenblat’s reading is the best! She becomes Bridget in every way. I really hope Audible gets her version of part 2 of this series.

Meh..

While I love the books and the movies this rendition is so so. Maybe it is because I have a totally different voice in mind. This Bridget is to "posh". She almost whispers. Her voice is too deep. So I am giving it 3 stars. Had really hoped for more. Sadly disappointed.

Fun and Funny

Why have I waited this long to listen to this book? I look forward to the next one!

Outstanding performance of a very fun story.

Barbara Rosenblat's performance captures BJ perfectly! Fun fun fun story.
This is an excellent, light-hearted adventure. As Bridget would say, "VG indeed"

Hilarious

I read this book several years ago and remember it being very funny, so when I was in need of a good laugh I decided to give it a try again to see if it was as funny as I remembered.

It did not disappoint! Very good narration as well!

I recommend this book to all women for sure :)

Optional???

Struggled to finish. Repetitive diary entries interrupted storyline. Won't liston again or watch movie even though I like actress.
