I loooooooooooooooove this series. I started reading it in high school actually, trying to find my next Harry Potteresque fix, and I was pleasently surprised when I came across this book.
First of all the fact that it was a series pretty much sold it for me, I'm a series junkie, I neeeed something to come next that is just as amazing and stunning as the first. I love growing with the characters, it's intense, hahaha.. totally joking, sorry.
Anyway, I feel like there isn't a person out that that can't relate to the characters in this book. Becky tries so hard , she bubbly, but her unfortunate addiction to shopping sort of muck things up for her. Luke.. oooh, Luke, he is soooo smooth and chill, a bit intimidating because of his success but once you get to know him he's suuuch a hopeless romantic, you can totally tell. Everyone has had a Luke in their lives. Susan is the best friend you want to be, or like the girl you're totally jealous of and almost envy, but you can't for long because she's soooo sweet!
All in all, it's worth driving alllll the way to the bookstore and you won't be disappointed.
This book is great. It's an easy, entertaining read and I think anyone who loves to shop can relate to the main character. I really enjoy the internal monologues that she has with herself. The ways that she tries to justify buying another pair of pants, shoes, trenchcoat, etc and how she goes through her mental inventory of all the other items in her closet that would compliment these new items resulting in a perfectly pulled together outfit! Great book. Very entertaining and something all us shoppers can relate to.
This was a great summer read, lots of laughs and fun character development. It's a light read, but still a page turner as the reader tries to think of what possible mess could the character be in next. A great price, and loved it!
If you are big into "chick lit" then this is for you. Funny, light, and mostly silly, this entire series isn't half-bad. If you are looking for something more serious, maybe you don't want to pick this up.
I really enjoyed this book. It's perfect for someone who needs an escape and wants something to leisurely read. I know we can all relate when it comes to shopping or spending...although this is a bit in excess. This is definately a great gift for a girlfriend and it's now a movie!
I have loved reading through the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella. She has a witty way of writing and keeps you turning the page to find out what crazy thing Becky’s going to do next. I at times would find myself feeling as anxious & excited as Becky throughout her travels. Truly an excellent read!!!
I LOVE this book ... the entire series in fact have been superb! Sophie Kinsella is such a funny, creative writer; it's wonderful to see how she takes everyday things and weaves an amazing story around them.
Becky Bloomwood, the heroine of the shopaholic series is a fresh new character that anyone can connect to. The situations she manages to get herself into will keep you laughing right to the end of the book!
And for those who are interested, the Shopaholic movie hits theatres in February of '09!
This is an awesome book! Much better than the movie, even! It is entertaining, dramatic, and oh so funny.
I loved this series. The first few books are the best, but they are funny, smart, and convincing. For anyone who has ever stuck her bills back into the mailbox in the hopes that their visa bills will magically go away!
Becky and I are so alike--I can relate to her SO much. Kinsella is a great writer and this is one of my favorites. The rest of the books in the series are just as fabulous. You'll fall in love with the characters one by one. A MUST READ :)
