Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: Another delightful visit with Becky
Summary: 4 Stars
Each time I finish another book in the amusing "Shopaholic" series, I'm pretty sure Kinsella has taken these characters as far as they can go. And then there's another adorable episode and I'm enchanted anew. Yes, Becky is materialistic -- but she's so good-hearted and besides, her passion for shopping has resulted in a career and made her something of a marketing savant. She loves Luke and her parents and her friends and is excited about motherhood. She's a Brit Lucy Riccardo for the new millennium. My only complaint about this book regards Dr. Carter. A bit too easy an obvious a villain, Dr. Carter's behavior seems just too ... dangerously wacky. Even in the crazy world of Becky Bloomwood!Book Review: Couldn't take anymore!!

I am not the type of person to not finish a book, but I couldn't force myself to read all of this. I have read the other books in this series. I liked the first one. It was kind of original and somewhat relatable. But now, the main character, Becky Bloomwood, is just annoying and irresponsible. The foreign bank accounts, credit cards, etc. are just ridiculous. Her husband has become a joke. What man, of any means, would put up with this amount of lying and trickery. I realize that there are people out there who have shopping disorders such as this, but it's an addiction. I think that the next book should be Shopaholic and Therapist.Book Review: Kinsella creates another wonderful read!
Summary: 5 Stars
Becky back in all her hormonal bliss! Shopaholic and Baby takes Becky and Lukes relationship to a whole new level and really challenges their marriage at times throughout the book. The book was full of exciting twists and turns and of coarse Baby Dior! i just started and finished the series very recently and loved every second of it! Becky is a girl after my own heart and not only has a brain but an amazing eye for fashion.Sophie writing is light and relaxing and i would highly recommend anyone of her novels. Shopaholic and baby is one of my favorite books in the series and i hope Sophie will continue on with Becky's stories!!Book Review: Love the Shopaholic in the Book and in Me!
Summary: 5 Stars
While I want to scream sometimes at the tension that Kinsella creates in the last several novels between Becky and her man, I understand the theory behind creative writing enough to understand that Kinsella has to give us some tension beyond Becky's shopping habits and upcoming baby. Let's just say though that at the end of the novel, I kept hoping for a more monumental showdown between the infuriating OB/GYN doctor and Luke. :) Becky seems so weak sometimes as a person, and yet I can't help recognizing those qualities that make her both seem weak and vulnerable within myself at times too. Overall, a great read!Book Review: The last shopaholic book I'll ever buy!

I've been a big Kinsella fan ever since I read her Undomestic Goddess book, followed by the Shopaholic series (yes, I read every single one of them!) I HAD looked forward to this one...and what a disappointment it was! Kinsella had a lot of material to work with...there's dearth of material to write about having a baby! But instead, Kinsella made Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) so STUPID! This is the first Kinsella book I bought that I cannot finish. This book was absolutely AWFUL! (Did anyone read her draft before publishing it?) I may never read any of Kinsella's books again.
