Good but not great

Latest installment in the wildly successful Shopaholic series, I was excited to read this book. While I thoroughly enjoyed the other books in the series and have read them multiple times, I can say that this one fell a bit short of the bar that Kinsella herself has set. Slow to start, I had trouble really connecting with Becky and her latest set of problems. Still as funny as the others, it just wasn't laugh out loud funny. I'm hoping for better things from the next book. Sorry Sophie, but it wasn't a home run.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

I loved loved loved this book.
Sophie K is sooo funny, I laughed out loud while reading this book at work!!
If you have ever rationalized a purchase in your mind, READ this!!

Characters are real, funny, warm, and contemorary.
Read the whole series, as I did, back to back, you wont be sorry you did. You'll find yourself passing them on to friends and family so you can talk about Beckys escapades.
Really great!!

Amazing

"Amazing", is one word to sum up the book Shopaholic and Baby. The book is about a wealthy family of two, living in the busy city of London. They are about to have their dreams come true when Becky, the wife, finds out she is pregnant. Shopping is one of Becky's ways to get away from it all and to look for prams, clothes, bags, or anything else for the baby. Becky wants everything to be perfect for the baby, but the perfection turns out to be not so perfect.
I really enjoyed this realistic fiction book. All of the wacky things Becky does makes this book worthwhile to read. Sophie Kinsella really puts you in the story by having side notes in addition to the book. This novel is geared to young adults, more than adults. If you enjoy shopping, conflict, or babies, you will definitely love Shopaholic and Baby.

Smart, Fun Chick Lit

This is the first book that I've read from the Shopaholic series. I adore the idea of light summer reading, but I've found myself disappointed by the other chick lit options I've tried in the past. I purchased this book in part because we are considering trying to become pregnant this summer; I figured that even if the writing was tepid, the topic would hold my interest. I was pleasantly surprised to find the writing easy but excellent. I did not feel less intelligent for having read this book (a feeling I often get reading others in the genre) - I felt like I'd had a nice fun outing with a friend. I was worried based on some other reviews that I'd find the main character whiny, annoying, cloying, or entitled, but I was pleased to find her endearing. A bit ditzy, perhaps, but well intended and interesting. I recommend this book as a "fun" read. Great summer book, and especially nice if you're planning to become pregnant or already expecting yourself - ups the fun factor a bit, I suspect.
