I don’t usually rant (For those who've just read my previous posting - rant over, promise) , but I think something’s come over me since I finally got through reading Bridget Jones’ Diary – yes the original (I know I’m several years late!) But I loved the film and going on the usual premise that the book is always better, I dived in … what a disappointment!!
Where was the depth of character, the jokes, what was this crazy far fetched plot???!!! Grrr (to coin a Bridget term). Yes I know this book has gained a huge following over the years but I’m happy to be in the minority and say, as a thirty something single for many years I couldn’t relate to this self absorbed tale of drink sodden martyrdom.
Am I the only one? Someone out there please reassure me!!

Haven't read the book but the sequel to the movie was poor.
So poor in fact I felt inclined to leave a donation when I left the cinema!
I don't agree about Bridget Jones diary. I thought it was light fun and people attached way too much significance to it. It certainly didn't represent the women I knew.
But most of my friends thought it was a laugh.
