Preview:
I have chosen this book because I thought it was a very fun book. And a dairy is different then a normal book, it’s written in the ‘I’ person. So I thought, that’s something different than normal. And I saw the movie of Bridget Jones Dairies 1, which was very funny, so I thought: I’m going to read Bridget Jones Dairies 2 for my bookreport. I expected that it was as fun as the first movie was and I was right.
Summary:
Bridget Jones is a journalist and she is, in the beginning of the story, in a relationship with Mark Darcy. Mark Darcy is a jurist, so a big business guy. But the relationship they have is not all good. At a dinner of the work from Mark, he barley spoke to her because he was a shamed of her. But he seemed to have a very good time with some girl from his work. Her name was Rebecca. After the dinner they got in a fight and almost broke the relationship. But that same night they talked and make it up with each other. He asked her to go skiing with him. So they got skiing. But when they arrived there, she found out that some business partners from Mark were also there, including Rebecca. So when he went out skiing she discovered that she might be pregnant. So she bought a test to find out. When she almost knew it Mark came in. They were imagining how it was to have a child and they found out that they thought very different about rising a child. Happily the test came out negative. When they got back home and went to work Bridget found out that Daniel Cleaver was working for the same boss she was. Daniel Cleaver is an old ‘friend’ of Bridget. Last year they had a relationship but he chided on her. So she broke up with him. Mark also know Daniel because he and Daniel got in a fight last year about Bridget. After a family day Mark and Bridget got again in a fight and the relationship was so far as over, when she had to go for her job to Thailand with Daniel Cleaver and a friend of her. That friend soon got a boyfriend. But happily it goes very well between Daniel and her. So good that they almost went to bed with each other, but just before that, there knocked a girl on the door and said that Mrs Cleaver order her for that night. So he chided on her again. Bridget and her friend decide to go home. But her friends suitcase can’t close because of a gift she had from her boyfriend. So Bridget does that gift in her suitcase. But at the airport she got hold because in that gift there is drug. So she got in present with a lot of girls from Thailand. But happily Mark comes to get her out of there, but he thinks that she had sex with Daniel. So he is very angry. But when she got home she hears all the things Mark did for her and she goes straight to him to make it up. At his house Rebecca opens the dour and tells Bridget that she isn’t in love with Mark but in love with her. So Bridget goes to Marks work. There they make up and he asked her to marry him!

Characters:
The main character is of course Bridget. It’s her diary so it goes about her life and what she goes trough. Bridget is a girl from round the thirty years old. She is a very normal girl, so she does sometimes something strange and embarrassing. And sometimes she is a shamed of that but sometimes she isn’t. And that’s what so funny is about this story.
Mark is also an important character in the story. He is good and serious business man. So he is lots of times embarrassed for Bridget how is not as serious as he is. But he is also very in love with Bridget.
Then there is also Daniel Cleaver. He is player. By him it’s all about the sex. He is also a very arrogant man. But he is very handsome.
Opinion:
I would defenetly recommend this book to everyone. It’s a great book! I love it! If I would have to give this book a number I would give it a 9.5 because it’s a story that can happen to anyone so it’s not unreasonable. And it’s also a very fun book because the main person is not so clever and sometimes she does some very stupid things. But she is never a shamed of something! You are very sympathize with the main person in this book because you read this book through her eyes. So you read what she thinks. That’s also very funny; what she thinks sometimes! So you must read this book if you want some fun!:)
