The reason why I chose “Bridget Jone’s Diary” was I had seen its film some years ago and I found it quite funny and romantic.

As I started to read this book, it gave me a nice first impression. The introduction is original and unexpected. Bridget starts to write this diary because she wants to record her New Year’s resolutions: not smoking, being more confident, improving her career, lose weight… She wants to achieve lots of goals. For this reason, everyday she writes down how many cigarettes she has smoked, what is her weight and how much alcohol she has drunk. But, suddenly the story turns into a romantic comedy…

In my opinion, “Bridget Jone’s Diary” could be considered an ironic sight or a satire of modern love relationships. The author tries to emphasize the comic side of relationships and the importance of having a positive opinion about them.

My favourite character is Bridget Jones. I would describe her as a lovable loser. She is a thirty-something spinster, unattractive, who has a disastrous sentimental life. For this reason her lifestyle is absolutely unhealthy; she usually smokes and gets pissed. Bridget doesn’t set a good example, but she is unique and funny. She seems real because of the way she acts, what I really love about her is how she copes with all the unexpected situations she had along the story.

The two other main characters who get involved in the story are Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleve. Mark is a famous rich lawyer who seems to be unfriendly at first, but finally he becomes Bridget’s boyfriend. On the other hand, Daniel, Bridget’s boss, seems to be the perfect lover, but he evolves and is said to be a womanizer.

I would recommend you this book if you want to have fun and, what is more, if you need a different point of view about love relationships.
