And lately been hunted by the grim Becky’s letters from Visa & Endwich Bank – with large red letters sums she can never bear into read – & they are increasingly hard into ignore. They tried into cut back, she tries even more money. But none of her efforts succeeds. Becky’s only consolation is into buy yourself something. . . only a trifle. . . .

Within a few months, Sophie Kinsella heroine beyond the limits of this generous offer & begins secretly into her credit card bills at work never scan certain that they have never spent the reported sums.

In fact I think all museums should the prices of their exhibits are. you would on a silver chalice or a marble statue or the Mona Lisa or whatever, & they admire for their beauty & see historical significance & all – & then you would reach for the price tag & gasp, “Hey, look, this is as much! “It would really liven things. Finally, consider Rebecca’s Shopping uncontrollable & her” imaginative “solutions into their debt never only the attention from their bank manager, but the handsome Luke Brandon – a multimillionaire PR representative for a funding group often successful storage covered. Unlike their counterparts in Bridget Jones’s Diary, however, Rebecca actually seems too scattered & Spacey reel in such a successful man. Maybe it’s her Denny & George scarf. In any case, makes Kinsella debut excellent fantasy reading for long routes between white sales & appliance specials. – Regina Marler
This book is fun. . I mean, have fun and not just the girlish giggle type of fun, but the loud laugh of fun. Of what is good! It has me hooked on Sophie Kinsella. I now have to write all their books on my shelf and can not wait for them, more!
The book, first of all, is the same book as “Confessions of a Shopaholic known “. (Only one other title) I do not know why there are two different songs, but still has. . .
I have started reading humorous chick-lit, after I read the two Bridget Jones Diaries. To be honest I was sure I wouldnt find funny book than those two, but fortunately I found myself wrong:)
Kinsella has the touch. I have read, “Can You Keep A Secret?” and the first two books in the Shopaholic and I’m still hungry for more. (Fortunately I still have to keep “Shopaholic Ties the Knot” and “Shopaholic & Sister ‘me)
This is a book for those looking for a good, healthy laugh, the want to have to forget for a while the cares and worries of everyday life. Yes Rebecca Bloomwood is no sense in terms of their personal finances. Yes, she is totally and irrevocably irresponsible as soon enters into a shopping center. But the devil is what makes the book so much fun. We can actually feel good because we can about ourselves never as bad as her. . . . (Some of us at least;)
your answers to the letters she receives from her exasperated Bank are hilarious and so is its conclusion that actually, when in fact she spends little invested. Their attempts to control their spending are so funny, I could not stop laughing. The Curry recipe part is really incredibly funny. . . .
I believe that most women will find themselves in Rebecca. I bet most of us do once or twice on the same line as Rebecca when they tried to apologize to one of her mad, “thought calls for an expensive, but not so practical element.

I started it last night and stayed until 3:00 a. m to finish this book! I really enjoyed this book ~ ~ it was funny, happy and cute! I laughed out loud in some places and found myself shaking his head in other places.
Rebecca is a girl, overdrawn their bank account and maxes out her Visa card. I’m not a big shopper (unless you call for books on a shopping spree ~ ~ then I went shopping!) The clothing, but it was to hear funny only to her describe her clothes, as for Vogue or Cosmo or even 17 is posing. Their reason for buying things are hilarious and the scene where she tried to make curry made me laugh so much! (I am a cook and the scene just cracks me because I did it the same!) Did Sophie took a character riddled with anxieties and insecurities and made her so appealing ~ ~ One can not help but laugh at some of their excuses. She has a vivid imagination, which really carries through the book.
I can understand why some of the critics did not care for this book ~ ~ it’s like a little sound from a fashion magazine, but Sophie is a good, clean writer. I really enjoyed this book and would like to read more of her. Your sense of humor is a lot like mine and it is refreshing to read one! I recommend it for a bright, easy to read and if you are looking for humor, this book everything.

That’s what our heroine Rebecca Bloomwood, not fifty times a day. Clothes, make-up, scarves, boots, everything has a price tag is fodder for Rebecca’s shopaholic paradise. Unfortunately, Becky has maxed out her Visa, receives threatening letters from their bank, and was borrowed from her roommate. Even more unfortunately, they can not curb their addiction to shopping. Sophie Kinsella gives us the funniest mess-up, and yet most vulnerable endearing heroine of the year. If you have ever sought to be trendy and glamorous, but not quite the budget to accomplish this, you laugh and cry along with Becky, as they the two biggest ways to achieve financial security — pruning and tests more money. Her attempts are disastrous, her failures hysterical. So, what does it do? It gives a little consolation prize. . . only a small buy, and others, and others. . . . Cause Becky was born to shop and could not stop if their life depended on it. As an added pleasure, she is also a financial journalist covering the advice of other objects as they write and manage their money. Light, clever and disarming, this is fast, safe fun for everyone who is an adrenaline rush walking into a shopping mall, please.
I can not wait for the upcoming sequel “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan read” for more side-splitting fun shopping with Becky!

“Confessions of a Shopaholic” is a fun, mindless paper on Rebecca Bloomwood, a silly girl who works for a Finance Magazine in London and spends about five times as much as she does. Becky can not just say no to the piles of magazines, piles of designer clothes, and dozens of frothy cappuccino. It does not take long for Becky run some pretty large debts, but the handling of their financial problems head-on, it relies on the avoidance tactics by creditors that use their dog died, threw the monthly bills in the trash bin, etc. Eventually, Becky, decide to go back on their spending, but somehow their “responsible end budget” they cost more money. Unfortunately for Becky, she can not hide from their problems forever, and finally the unfortunate creditors literally drive them into the subsoil. But of course, books like these almost always have happy endings, and things miraculously come together for Becky at the end.
I enjoyed reading this book: it is light, humorous and funny. Becky’s crazy rationalizations are pretty funny, but after a while I got a bit tired as she was able to completely seal all be over. It was also very obvious how the book would be quite the end of the beginning. However, Becky has had me laugh, and their unusual situations and some over-the-top love interests very entertaining. Overall, if you are looking for fluffy chick lit, this book is definitely Up Your Alley, but it’s not really mean much more than that.

I was prompted to buy this book from all the good reviews I read here, but I must admit that I do not expect it quite so pleasing as it was. While the familiar story arc is visible – the only woman working in London, miserable in her job and love life, quirky and funny, etc. – this book has a different approach – the heroine of her life revolves around attempts to fill the void in their lives to fill with possessions and it winds in debt over his head. It is with their lives do not even know where to start to change it, finally found redemption in the most unlikely places bored.
I do not want to act or the quality of writing and character development (both belabor far above the average for the genre). The best aspect of this book for me was how entertaining and funny, while he in there with a lot of that is easy to obtain – safe, sometimes it is stretched credibility but not so much that the book had become even ridiculous. Shopaholic is a delightful diversion, well worth the investment and one of the better entries in the now-familier Bridget genre. I recommend it highly – it is a wonderfully entertaining way to spend the afternoon.
