I saw the movie before buying the book... and, lemme tell you, DONT JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS MOVIE!!!! The book is seriously better than the movie. Bridget Jones Diary is really, really funny and witty. Itll definitely have you laughing out loud after every page!
Bridgets character is very endearing. Daniel Cleaver, her boss who she has a crush on, is portrayed as the typical bad boy... He doesnt keep his word, the only thing on his mind is sex, he has not an inkling of sensitivity, and he couldnt care less about broken hearts. Mark Darcy, the son of Bridgets parents friends, is a top barrister and a divorcee who Bridgets mom keeps flinging in Bridgets way hoping that she would get married to him. Bridget, you see, is single and 32 and couldnt care less about Mark.
anyway, youll definitely feel for Bridget when you read this. And, if the movie didnt have Hugh Grant as Daniel, I would have hated him :)
