latest read: bridget jones mad about the boy

This is continuity of the Bridget Jones series.

This book brings us forward to at time where Bridget, now 51, has had two children with Mr Darcy.

The story is everything typical and what you can expect from Helen Fielding, the author - it is sharp-witted, fun and witty.
The saddest part of this book is that the story is looking at Bridget  coping with the death of Mr Darcy.

Bridget first found "love" but in the form of a 30 year old toy-boy which eventually led to no where. 
As the story goes, she eventually ends up with a Mr. Wallaker who appears randomly throughout the book.

latest read: the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared


It took me two attempts to finally finish this story.

Don't get me wrong; It'snot that the story is bad; it's just that the first attempt was intertwined with work distractions and this book got sidelined. 
I was more than half way through the book in that first attempt but in my second attempt, I started from the beginning since I wanted the full effect of the book.

It is a most amusing story. You just want to go on and on and get to the end to know what exactly will happen to the 100-year-old man, Allan Emmanuel Karlsson.
