Bridget Jones had me at page one of her New Year's Resolutions that included under the "I WILL NOT" heading the line: "Sulk about having no boyfriend, but develop inner poise and authority and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without boyfriend, as best way to obtain boyfriend."

I've had this book on my shelf for a while now, when all of a sudden I feel an urge to drop the books I'm currently reading and just go with Bridget Jones's Diary.

So torn about what rating to give the book. On one hand, parts of the book were laugh-out-loud funny. The story moved along but I was surprised at how long it took me to actually get through.
