Book Reviews of Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic Series)
Book Review: A great ending to this series...
Summary: 5 Stars
I must admit that even though Becky was really starting to annoy me as each book kept coming, I felt that I should continue the series. Well, I read Shopaholic & Sister and Shopahlic & Baby back to back. Although Becky still annoyed me (Don't we all wish we had people to save us from all our mess-ups!?) I thought she ws much more enjoyable as a soon-to-be mom. Plus, the shopping is for a baby and not her constantly! I do hope this is the final book of the series because it definitely summed up all the books and made me enjoy the character again! This is a fun and quick read!Book Review: A bit more than OK
Summary: 4 Stars
After much debating, I finally caved and bought this book. At first, I thought that the main character was self absorbed and shallow and that I wouldn't like her. However, after reading further in the story, I found her somewhat 'charming'.
Needless to say, I found the book enjoyable. I couldn't really relate to the main character but I somehow lived vicariously through her. Also, the other characters were fun to read about.
The plot was very predictable, but that didn't take away from the fun of the book. Overall, it was quite funny and entertaining.
Book Review: Absolutely dreadful
Summary: 1 Stars
While attempting to read this book, I could not stop my gag reflex from releasing vomit into my throat. I have never in my life tried to read such a dreadful, plotless piece of tripe before. I slightly enjoyed Can You Keep a Secret? and was looking for another light read. This was so light it floated away on a sea of disgust. The book is 99% dialogue, i.e. there is no plot. The main character is heinously insipid. I refused to donate this book to be sold as used to prevent someone else from having to waste their time with this horrid book.Book Review: The best yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved all of the Shopaholic novels, but this has been my favorite. I found the new villain, Venetia Carter, of the book to be well-rounded and a good addition. But most of all, and for the first time ever, I actually felt Becky's pain when she discovered, or falsely discovered, that her husband was cheating on her and was as pissed off as her when Venetia did other things (eg.: made her wear weird "baby-supporting" clothes). I'd love to see another Shopaholic book, but, if not, this was a great final installment. I highly recommend it!Book Review: Good but not great
Summary: 4 Stars
Latest installment in the wildly successful Shopaholic series, I was excited to read this book. While I thoroughly enjoyed the other books in the series and have read them multiple times, I can say that this one fell a bit short of the bar that Kinsella herself has set. Slow to start, I had trouble really connecting with Becky and her latest set of problems. Still as funny as the others, it just wasn't laugh out loud funny. I'm hoping for better things from the next book. Sorry Sophie, but it wasn't a home run.
