  1. Bridget Jomes - The Edge of Reason waterstones synopsis At the end of "Bridget Jones's Diary", Bridget hiccuped off into the sunset with man-of-her-dreams Mark Darcy. Now she discovers what it is like when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he doesn't do the washing up, not just the whole of this week, but ever. my review. i went straight from the first book to this one. i loved this book, as i havent read this one before and i was pleased to see that the same style of writing and plot had carried on throughout. the only critism i had was that the diary entries were longer in this book than the first, which did make me loose track sometimes. i read three quarters of this book in one night so it was very hard to put down.
  2. Ive finished Bridget Jones Edge of Reason and am about to start The Dambusters.
  3. ooh thanks for the recommendation, have had a look at the synopsis and have added it to my wish list
  4. Bridget Jones' Diary - Helen Fielding Waterstones Synopsis - Bridget Jones wants to have it all - and once she's given up smoking and got down to 8st 7 she will. Based on Helen Fielding's diary in the Independent newspaper, this is a novel about a year in the life of a single girl on an optimistic but doomed quest for self-improvement and Inner Poise. First published in 1996. my review - this is the second time i had tried to read this book, the first i was about 15 i think and i just couldnt get into it. This time however i couldnt put it down. the only downside was that i have seen the film several times and i kept picturing that throughout. this was a very easy book to read and is a brilliant chick lit book. Bridget is a very identifiable character. i would highly recommend this book to anyone. ive just started to read the sequal and i hope it is as good as the first book.
  5. Ive finished Bridget Jones' Diary and i have started the sequal.

  9. Fighter Boys - Saving Britain 1940, Patrick Bishop Waterstones Synopsis A remarkable, intimate portrait of the young men of Fighter Command, whose skill, temperament and morale determined the fate of Britain and arguably the free world. The Battle of Britain, fought in the skies over Britain during the sweltering summer of 1940, was one of the most crucial battles ever fought: without the Luftwaffe's control of the skies it was unlikely that Nazi Germany would mount an invasion across the Channel. For most of the 3,000 young British airmen involved this was their first real experience of combat. The pressure on the pilots, groundcrew and their controllers was unimaginable; at certain points in the Battle a single blunder or failure of nerve could have been enough to tip the balance of the contest and give victory to the enemy. Patrick Bishop creates a new and surprising portrait of the Battle drawing on previously unseen source material and testimonies from survivors on both sides. Against the background of wider strategic considerations, he focuses on the lives and thoughts of the combatants, their attitudes towards 'the enemy' and their aircraft, the fear, horror and exhilaration of flight and battle, attempts by each side to gain the upper hand through daring technological innovations; coping tactics, mess room life and friendships. My review - im really interested in world war two, especially the battle of britain. i orginally brought this book for my a level coursework but i never had the time to read it. this book is very easy to read and it doesnt have to many technical details in whuch i find off putting. also, it gives the perspective of the german pilots which i quite liked too.
