Reading reason:
Of course, I like many others excited about the announcement that there is a new Bridget Jones novel.
Cover:
Fits very well to act, even if I do not find it particularly beautiful.
Conclusion:
Bridget Jones is back. Unfortunately.
Now that I have read the book I'd like to go back in time, for now I can unfortunately no longer enjoy the first two volumes.
What we experienced the same at the beginning - and what has also been called in the press again, so it is no longer a spoiler: Mark Darcy is dead He and Bridget were married and have two children together..
Of course I wanted at that point was no longer read, but I was curious to see how it goes. Lo and behold, is really positive that Bridget said goodbye to one point again quite touching of Mark, so I could separate myself emotionally by the figure and I could focus on Bridget and her single life fully.
The fundamental problem that I have with the book is not that Bridget has aged. Or that first really the level was kept very low. For example, was told in full detail by a gastrointestinal problem of children, so that is an already bad self.
Worst of all, I felt that Bridget is your age does not do justice. It should be the beginning of 50, but behaves still, as if it were a childless single. Of course, you can still be scatterbrained even in old age, which are endearing characteristics. But she hardly cares for their children, in my eyes she is a real bad mother.
Moreover it provides its male acquaintances about the children, the main thing, you can spend good times with the Toy Boy.
Your marriage and children should they have done more mature and I miss quite clearly an evolution of the character. To write on paper, that Bridget is now in his early 50s, it is not enough. Life can not go past without a trace but one.
