A great read, with some humor inserted at just the right times. I passed it on to my sister and she loved it also!

2.Confessions of a Shopaholic (Movie Tie-in Edition) (Random House Movie Tie-In Books) by: Sophie Kinsella December 30, 2008

After reading "the Undomestic Goddess" and "Can you keep a secret?" which are some of the later books of Kinsella I thought I'll just give the book that shoot her to fame a try. I must admit that the title had put me off for quite some time because it just sounded so silly. But I thought that maybe that was just the title. Well, the book is kind of silly at a whole. I know these chic lit books don't set out to use symbolism or to deal with political issues, their humble goal seems to be to entertain us readers and most of the time they do. But I believe there is a very fine line when funny and chic becomes ridiculous and over the top. While the later books of Kinsella seem to stay on the right side of that line this one doesn't. Don't get me wrong, this book will make laugh sometimes ... Read More

3.Shopaholic Takes Manhattan by: Sophie Kinsella March 02, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.04
Shopaholic Takes Manhattan is a hilarious second take on the life and times of Becky Bloomwood -- my favorite out-of-control shopper who is short on cash but ready with a long list of justifications for every purchase. The madder the spending, the grander the excuse. I found myself laughing out loud and reading parts of the story to friends, who readily identified with the compulsive behavior which easily satirized our own weaknesses! If you've read Becky Bloomwood's first story, Confessions of a Shopaholic, you'll be delighted to discover that Sophie Kinsella is not merely repeating what you've read before, but building on her character's exploits to create new, hilarious situations worthy of Lucille Ball at her best. Luke's discovery of Becky's outrageous stash of purchases in the hotel ... Read More

4.Shopaholic & Baby by: Sophie Kinsella December 26, 2007

While attempting to read this book, I could not stop my gag reflex from releasing vomit into my throat. I have never in my life tried to read such a dreadful, plotless piece of tripe before. I slightly enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret? and was looking for another light read. This was so light it floated away on a sea of disgust. The book is 99% dialogue, i.e. there is no plot. The main character is heinously insipid. I refused to donate this book to be sold as used to prevent someone else from having to waste their time with this horrid book.

This was by far the funniest book I have ever read. I was laughing out loud throughout the whole book. I had read Kinsella's shopaholic series and decided to try her other books. I read this book in on sitting. I can't wait to finishing reading her other books.

6.Shopaholic Ties the Knot by: Sophie Kinsella August 31, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.30
Luke Brandon finally ties the knot with his beloved Becky Bloomwood. But just like anything that Becky touches, there are bound to be complications -- lots of very expensive and hilarious complications! It's hard to believe that Sophie Kinsella can keep topping herself with every one of her books featuring this "Lucille Ball" of a character who never met a purchase that she couldn't justify. Shopaholic Ties the Knot takes readers from England to America and back again, following the insanity that evolves when Becky just happens to schedule two weddings at the same time. How can our girl pass up a fairy-tale Plaza Hotel extravaganza paid for by her future mother-in-law? The fact that there's already a wedding being planned by her own ... Read More

7.Shopaholic & Sister by: Sophie Kinsella November 28, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.66
Sophie Kinsella has done it yet again, and taken the presumably one-note concept of a shopaholic to new heights of character development, plot twists and comedy! The introduction of skinflint Jess, a newly discovered sister, holds a mirror up to Becky's obsessive devotion to conspicuous consumerism and lays the groundwork for conflicts so far reaching as to put Becky on a life-threatening mountain climb (in kitten heels!) and further throw her into conflict with her new husband's major client by staging a protest march against him! The story has Becky on a roller-coaster ride from one crisis to another, and in-between there is plenty of pathos and sentimentality as our favorite chick lit heroine learns by hard experience the precious value of friends and family. I simply can't wait ... Read More

8.The Undomestic Goddess by: Sophie Kinsella April 25, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $14.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $11.20 You Save: $2.80 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.01
This is my least favorite of all of Sophie Kinsella's books. It is VERY predictable, and as other reviewers have noted, leaves a lot of loose ends, like what happened to the Geigers? The author made it sound like there was something going on with them earlier, but that just dissolves. Also, this is the first male love interest out of all of Kinsella's books that I couldn't stand! I was surprised. I couldn't even picture what he looked like in my head, and actually didn't want them to end up together. It was also lacking in humor. I'd recommend it if you're a big fan of Kinsella's, but if not, don't bother picking it up.

I absolutely love the Shopaholic series. I bought the set as a gift for my bestfriend knowing she would get a kick out of them too.
