• Blabber of a Shopaholic
  My guess is that Sophie Kinsella had in mind a specific group of readers when she created her "Shopaholic" series. And that group does not include me.
  Do you recall the girl from "American Pie" whose stories began with the now famous line "This one time, at band camp..." Well, this is what it felt like when I was reading this book. It's as if someone sat next to me and began babbling in my ear a totally meaningless, not even to mention boring, story.

• Great book, warm and funny companion

Kinsella's writing is witty and funny.

  I've only read the first two of the series about Rebecca Bloomwood, an obsessed shopper so much that she overlooks her debt problems and just keeps hitting those great sales, and I plan to read the entire series.
  I laughed a lot reading this book. It is light reading, and her writing is very good... more info
