Publisher's Summary:
Picking up where her blockbuster best-selling Bridget Jones's Diary left off, The Edge of Reason finds Bridget in an up and down relationship with Mark Darcy. It's four weeks later, and already the honeymoon is over: the man of her dreams votes conservative and folds his clothes at night, making Bridget feel pressured to do so as well. But all of these problems pale in comparison to Rebecca, a beautiful, man-hunting arch-nemesis without a girlfriend code of ethics when it comes to stealing another woman's man. As always, Bridget's best Singleton friends Jude and Shaz are there to give her advice from the pages of Getting the Love Your Want and Keeping the Love You Find with some unexpected results.

Critic Reviews:
"Funnier and more accomplished than the original diary, and in fact takes recognition humor into a new dimension. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is a glorious read, and there is a laugh on every page." (The London Sunday Times Books)
Members Reviews:
fun story, excellent narrator
The narrator brings this story to life with a fabulous voice for Bridget that really enhances the self-deprecating humor. I have listened to it nearly a dozen times in the two years since I bought it! It is laugh-out-loud funny, thanks to the witty author and the narrator's performance. I wish Audible would add an unabridged version of Bridget Jones' Diary by the same narrator. As for the storyline in The Edge of Reason, it is very, very different from the movie, so don't pass on this book just because you may have seen the film. If you liked either of the Bridget Jones movies, you will love this audio book.
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (Unabridged)
If you loved the first Bridget Jones book, you'll love this one. 10 times better than the movie, then again, aren't they always!
Entertaining
I found this book entertaining, and the narrator was great. I felt it dragged on a bit too long, and at points I got rather bored. I wanted something silly and entertaining to listen to while lying down with/rocking my young toddler to sleep, and this fit the bill. I kind of wish I'd gotten it from the library instead of wasting an Audible credit on it, though.
A friend in audio format: Credit proof for ladies!
Where does Bridget Jones rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
I do not rank titles by number because it is like asking a wine taster to rank all wine on the same scale: It would be unfair to both future listeners and to the art of audio.
However, I bought this with cash since I wanted a book which I knew I would return to again and again.
Once, Helen Fielding had the thrown of feel-good safely in her very capable hands. Then, came author after author none could take her place, still: Internet grew, many young people might find the chapter in which Bridget talks about not "getting the online thing" acient, in reality it is an image on what the genere used to be before Carrie, Blackberry Z10 and iPadt's.
Surely Bridget is naive, not thin and she'd be glued to the Audible self-help section. Which is why this IS essansial. It stands the test of time like no other "feel-good" book. I first read this when it came out:One time.
