One of this century's most evocative writers

A delight. The interlocking of the stories, the fantastical and obsessional aspects of Márquez have never been better shown.

A perfect read for the beach.

A Richard Curtis rom-com of a novel

Sharp, honest and very, very funny. I absolutely loved it

Laugh-out-loud funny, with a bit of nostalgia thrown in.

Funny, refreshingly unclichéd tale... will strike a chord with even the hardest of hearts.

A great read . . . had me on tenterhooks right until the end

Tons of charm and genuine warmth

This is one juicy read

Must read

Fabulous period detail

Even better than The Outcast

Anyone who loved Sadie Jones' gripping debut novel The Outcast will be equally hooked by this fraught tale of creative ambition and betrayal in a radical theatre group of 1970s London

Few people combine emotional intelligence with commercial appeal so well… Jones writes so richly it’s like sinking into a luxurious bath

A vivid sense of period is combined with a real satirical edge

Jones gives the appearances of being an effortlessly fluent writer. Her sentences tumble forth, occasionally surprising the reader with their odd perfection… Sadie Jones is that rare novelist who can deliver a satisfying plot without stylistic compromise

The novel captures, better than anything I’ve read, theatre’s febrile, ephemeral intensity

Now I want to read her other books

An irresistible read

A page-turning read. We can think of no more worthwhile or enjoyable companion on holiday

Sadie Jones depicts the dark undercurrents of middle-class life with unerring skill, telling a powerful and disturbing story with insight and depth

thoughtful and ambitious

Excellent and astutely observed

I read the book. I loved it. I loved her. She’s smart, she’s funny and she makes us all feel like we’re good just the way we are.

Fresh, frantic and very funny.

Long-awaited.

Bridget is back! ... The third book in the series does not disappoint, taking the reader on a whirlwind tour of Bridget's life as a 50-something, and all the highs, lows, tears and laughter that you'd expect.

What remains unchanged – and addictive – is its diary format.

Life may have changed dramatically for Bridget, but you can still prepare to laugh and cry at Helen Fielding’s latest novel.

Fans of the original books have not been, and will not be, disappointed.

Tender, touching and often hilarious – a welcome return.

Bridget is as hopeless, loveable and funny as ever.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is the triumphant return of our favourite Everywoman.

Laugh-out-loud funny, as well as punctuated by moments of genuine sadness, which are proportionately balanced throughout the story.

Timely, tender, touching, witty, wise and bloody hilarious

Hilariously written

This book is an innocent pleasure, and made me laugh a lot
