About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Bridget Jones, the world’s favourite singleton, is back with a bump in the irresistible Sunday Times bestseller – now a major film.


8.45 P.M. Realise there have been so many times in my life when have fantasised about going to a scan with Mark or Daniel: just not both at the same time.

Before motherhood, before marriage, BRIDGET JONES, with biological clock ticking very, very loudly, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the eleventh hour.

Her joyful pregnancy is dominated, however, by a crucial but terribly awkward question – who is the father? Mark Darcy: honourable, decent, notable human rights lawyer? Or Daniel Cleaver: charming, witty, notable fuckwit?

Critic reviews

A gloriously funny and touching story
Bridget Jones is as relevant and funny today as she has always been... Daniel [Cleaver] is not only alive and shagging, he also has the best lines… Again and again he comes up with smutty one-liners that steal the show
How can a reader not love this woman?
Helen Fielding is one of the funniest writers in Britain and Bridget Jones is a creation of comic genius
Bridget Jones is no mere fictional character, she's the Spirit of the Age
Fielding’s narrative diverts from the screen version: notably that feckless Daniel Cleaver, the original “fuckwit” in Bridget’s life is, gratifyingly, very much alive and central to the plot of the novel. "VG"
It’s a real fun read. The jokes are great and you find yourself rooting for Bridget and praying she gets the outcome she deserves
Before I read this book, I wondered whether there could possibly be anything left to tell. This book is absolutely necessary. At a time when the world seems especially dark and difficult, and sometimes stacked against women, Bridget Jones’s Baby is both a longed for slice of escapism and a real inspiration
It’s very, very good… Fielding reminds us once again she’s queen of encapsulating the female experience… Short, pacy and perfect
A brilliant comic creation

Great, easy listen. Lots of laughs & cringe worth moments. Lacking substance as always but that is rather an expectation with Bridget Jones.

Funny as ever

Really enjoyed this instalment of Bridget's life. Only downside was the length of the book, which is considerably shorter than the other books. One dog walk and a basket of ironing and I'd finished listening to the whole thing.

Bit short but good just the way it is !!

My only negative comment about this audio book it's that it's far too short - I've just listened to the whole story while pottering about on a Sunday afternoon.

Laugh out loud entertaining listen

Funny, heart warming, enjoyable listen, narration good, quite different to the film, so we'll worth a listen even if you have watched the film.

good listen
