Relation During Books Does My Bum Look Big in This?

For once, I'll provide a synopsis, since whoever was supposed to do so obviously did not. So, this book is written diary style, the diary writer being one Jacqueline M. Pane, a woman in her mid-30s with cripplingly low self-esteem. Sounds a lot like Bridget Jones's Diary, I know. And, if I remember correctly, the two have a lot in common, but I haven't read Bridget Jones's Diary in many years so I can't make a better comparison than that. Anyway, I see that a LOT of people who bothered to review Does My Bum Look Big In This? didn't like it very much, or even hated it, and the fact of the matter is ... I get it. But I personally find the complete and utter lack of self-esteem, the paranoia, the cluelessness, all of it, to be very funny! I mean, no one really thinks like this. (Well, I'm sure there are some, but no one I know so I guess I can chuckle at it!) But if people thinks it's so over-the-top it loses its funny, I get it. That's how I feel about John Oliver about 10 minutes in. I won't judge. I also feel the need to admit that there might be a touch of nostalgia somewhere in my four stars. My brother went to London for his 26th birthday and brought back a copy of this book for me. 16-year-old me was so tickled, I read a diary entry every day to my then-best friend over the phone, and we'd crack up over it. (I ultimately wound up loaning that copy to some bum I was friends with in college and never got it back. I bought a replacement copy when I went to London myself, which upset her but she still didn't return it so I don't know why she was mad about it.) I was tickled rereading it because there is some (not much) sexy-type stuff that happens, that may or may not have been over the heads of two high schoolers who hadn't even been kissed yet. :) So, in short, funny haha, definitely keeping.

Assessment Appertaining To Books Does My Bum Look Big in This?

What worked for Bridget Jones does not work for this woman. She is over the top neurotic and insecure. An adult who never got past the age of 14. To be fair I'm trying to finish it but it's a challenge.

This book was HILARIOUS! The way the character talked about herself when it was obvious everyone else saw her differently is so typical of many women. This is a must-read for all teenage girls and grown women who think they can never be as good as the people they know. Totally inspiring

Review available on my own blog: http://bookbag79.blogspot.nl.In all fairness I will add that the review is based on what I've managed to read of this book, which is about half. And that was quite a feat. Not saying it's a bad book, just saying it wasn't my cup of tea. Curious? Go ahead and read the review over on my blog!

I really did not like this book and found it a struggle to finish, not because it was badly written or hard to read but because the main character was so unbelievable, so negative and so paranoid. Written as a diary of a 30-something woman working in an industry where looks are apparantly important (not convinced myself but who knows) the level of negativity, self-critism, delusion and outright paranoia was that high it just felt like one book length stereotype taken to extremes. It was only in

I have over rated this book by two stars, unfortunately you cannot rate books as zero stars or negative numbers.Diabolical read. The author must have paid people to rate this book positively or they thought they were rating another book.The main character is dull and shallow. I read The Pillars Of The Earth quicker than this book!

This book was amazing. I was told that throughout the book I would refer to myself and it is true. There were many times where I could not help myself and ended up laughng out loud. Fantastic read.

Despite the awful title I thought I'd give this book a go as Joanna Lumley gave it a good quote saying "a very funny and unexpectedly touching novel." Well Joanna, despite loving a lot of what you do yourself - I'm not going to trust your book reviews! I couldn't find anything "touching" in it at all. It was written as a diary of a 30-something year old, Jaqueline, but she is just so annoyingly paranoid about things that you just dont believe it. It really comes across as being far too OTT and a
