About this listen

A dazzlingly urban satire on modern relationships?
An ironic, tragic insight into the demise of the nuclear family?
Or the confused ramblings of a pissed thirty-something?

As Bridget documents her struggles through the social minefield of her thirties and tries to weigh up the eternal question (Daniel Cleaver or Mark Darcy?), she turns for support to four indispensable friends: Shazzer, Jude, Tom and a bottle of Chardonnay.

Welcome to Bridget's first diary: mercilessly funny, endlessly touching and utterly addictive.

Helen Fielding's first Bridget Jones novel, Bridget Jones's Diary, sparked a phenomenon that has seen three books, newspaper columns and the smash-hit film series Bridget Jones' Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Bridget Jones's Baby.

July 15th. Just finished listening to Bridget Jones' Diary. As a result, I will:

1, Declare Tracie Bennett to be new goddess of narration and will erect shrine in dedication to awesome talents in bedroom.

I Will Not:

1. Listen to audio books narrated by perverts, morons, or the overly verbose.
2. Eat more than 2000 calories per day.
3. Keep this bloody shrine in bedroom. It's a monstrosity and the dogs keep peeing on glossy picture of Tracie. Thank god it's laminated!
4. Looking at empty box of Maltesers on floor... I'll work on #2 tomorrow.

My only criticisms is that the whole book is on just one file, which means if you want to listen to it in bed and you're going to sleep, the book'll play the entire file. It would be lovely to have the file divided up into a number of easily manageable parts...

Fantastic. Shame it's abridged...

I love Bridget Jones, it is so funny, as well as dramatic and romantic. However, it is a shame that only an abridged version is available!

Great!!!
