Page Turner

I call this a page turner even though it is not a mystery because I never wanted to turn off my MP3 player. I absolutely loved this book !!!! I loved Becky, her accent, her neighbor Danny, her job and her family. I identify with her in many ways, like day dreaming about what "might" happen instead of accepting what "will" happen. I spent alot of time thinking about how Becky could "fix things" but the way things did turn out was even better than anythin I could dream up. As funny as this may sound, I almost think of Becky as a friend now.

Shopaholic recurrence

absolutely amazaing how all 3 books that tell the story of Becky Bloomwood never fails in their entertainment; if you have read the 1st, you will definitely enjoy the 2nd & 3rd

I like this book but

This book was very enjoyable but I feel that the climactic obstacle was drawn out for very many chapters and I found myself wanting to fast-forward as the main character described in excruciating detail the very same problem that she was experiencing three or four chapters ago

Shopaholic Ties the Knot

This is another great hit from Sophie Kinsella, and Emily Gray is the perfect narrator for the series!

Love Crazy Becky Bloomwood!

Would you consider the audio edition of Shopaholic Ties the Knot to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the print version, so I can't say.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the twists and turns in the story and how wacky Becky extricates herself from the messes she makes for herself. I love a story that makes me laugh and this series never fails to deliver.

What does Emily Gray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Emily Gray is an excellent narrator, and I'm disappointed that she doesn't narrate the rest of the series. Her subtle voice inflections and changes for each character are superb. Many British narrators overdo it when doing an American accent, but Emily Gray gets it just right. I'll be looking for other books that she has narrated.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Get ready for another crazy adventure with Becky Bloomwood, Shopaholic Extraordinaire!

Fun as always!

Beckie Bloomfield continues to make life interesting and entertaining. It's always impressive how Gray spins tales that are so light hearted, yet have an impressive array of characters that have a surprising amount of depth. This book continues that trend.3

Becky can't get her life together

Would you try another book from Sophie Kinsella and/or Emily Gray?

No.

What could Sophie Kinsella have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Made Becky stronger, and not such a lying, weak, idiot.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disgust

Any additional comments?

I read the entire series before and listened to this series the 2nd time. I didn't realize how much her female characters irritate me. Becky doesn't stand up for herself, and she lies in every single book.

She's a pathological liar!

I really like the shopaholic stories but Becky lacks moral character. She lies even when it's not necessary. Her dishonesty is irritating. The author must think it's cute but it's not. I keep hoping that she will grow up and learn some life lessons about truth and honesty but it hasn't happened. I don't know if I can read another one of these books.
