Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: Another comical addition to the Shopaholic Series
Summary: 4 Stars
Shopaholic and the baby is another comical addition to the Shopaholic series. It doesn't have as many laugh-out-loud occasions as some of the others (namely the first two novels)- but I'd say the writing and plots are still very strong.
While 99% of this book is with Becky Bloomwood pregnant, and not yet having a baby, the majority of the plot is dealing with her pregnancy and making changes to her lifestyle in order to prepare for a baby. And just falling into some of those mommy-to-be traps like finding the most sought-after doctor, clothing etc. Add in an ex-girlfriend of her hubbys and that makes for interesting reading! Of course as always you cheer bumbling Becky on.
Fun, entertaining read as always! What I really can't wait for is the next book with her taking care of the baby! I think that will make for maybe the funniest stories/scenarios yet.
Book Review: Review for Shopaholic and Baby
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was the most emotional book out of all of them I think. It may have been because Becky was pregnant so her emotions spread to me, or because her marriage was being threatened, but it did make me cry. I usually don't cry over books, but for a couple seconds I truly believed that Luke was cheating on her, but I quickly snapped out of that. It was kind of hard to imagine Becky pregnant the whole book, but she reminds you constantly of her big belly and swollen feet. This book might have had some of the funniest parts too Kinsella has written. I would frequently laugh out loud while reading it and run to the nearest person and tell them all about what Becky was up to now. She has matured a little since the first book, for she is a mother now, but her childlike ways always come back at the worst times, making for a hilarious novel that will grip your emotions to the fullest.Book Review: Must Read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has to be the best out of her series, its witty and fun. It is a great summer read if your looking for something light and funny. The entire series was great and i'm really hoping that she doesn't stop at this one i would definetely read more of Becky's adventures. I admit i've been where she has and overindulged and looked at my Visa bill and nearly passed out the first time. I can competely relate to all her adventures especailly this one i was actually 3 months pregnant when i started reading this i admit it was kinda redundant in some parts but it was funny anyways. The villian Venetia Carter was just Hillarious!!! I think that this was the greatest thing about this book was it actually had a "villian". It was amazing and please please Sophie Kinsella WRITE MORE ABOUT Becky Bloomwood (Brandon)!! I will be sure to purchase and read it if you do.Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 4 Stars
"Amazing", is one word to sum up the book Shopaholic and Baby. The book is about a wealthy family of two, living in the busy city of London. They are about to have their dreams come true when Becky, the wife, finds out she is pregnant. Shopping is one of Becky's ways to get away from it all and to look for prams, clothes, bags, or anything else for the baby. Becky wants everything to be perfect for the baby, but the perfection turns out to be not so perfect.
I really enjoyed this realistic fiction book. All of the wacky things Becky does makes this book worthwhile to read. Sophie Kinsella really puts you in the story by having side notes in addition to the book. This novel is geared to young adults, more than adults. If you enjoy shopping, conflict, or babies, you will definitely love Shopaholic and Baby.

Book Review: non stop antics all the way through!
Summary: 5 Stars
brilliant, just brilliant, i laughed all the way through. Becky gets funnier every book, she is written so well, she is a real person, i feel if i met her i would want Becky to be my best friend. The way her mind wanders to the most crazy conclusions about Luke and his college sweetheart, and her logic for buying things she will never need or use never gets old, and i sometimes read about a situation and say 'i would probably do the same thing.' From beginning to end just a laugh out riot, my favorite part is when she walks into the doctors appointment wearing heals and the jewelry and the big bag, something i would do, and then get yelled at by the doctor for it. The ending was very sweet, and as usual an extremely unexpected one.
