Great pool read--even really fun for teens in a chick-lit way. No vivid sex (although there are some references), very few bad words, and a redeeming message. I am looking forward to the others.

Well, I guess I'm the rebel here, but.... I could not get into this book. It wasn't the authors' style of writing that I didn't like; it was the main character Becky that I couldn't bring myself to care about. I stopped at page 170. Hopefully, she got some scruples by the end.

The main character Becky was a very shallow, manipulative, immoral, two-faced person, not to mention a compulsive liar. A few examples from the book: when she sits buy a man on public transportation she comments on his wearing very old 501s and white tennis shoes & how disgusting it is; when she dated a man with religious beliefs about not having premarital sex- he wouldn't take advantage of her and later she makes fun of him to her friend; she lies to most anyone she meets about anything and everything. All through the book she is constantly thinking about herself and whenever anyone else speaks to her she doesn't pay any attention to them and just makes up things to tell them. After reading all the reviews on Amazon.com I found I wasn't the only one who thought this.

This book was ok. The author has good plot development, but the characters are totally unrelatable, at least to me. Obviously someone relates to out of control spending and racking up thousands of dollars in debt, all while throwing out Visa bills and ignoring calls from the bank, or the book wouldn't be so popular. I found myself wanting to shake the main character and scream at her, "What are you thinking?!" I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone I know, but I wouldn't discourage someone from reading it if they expressed an interest because there were parts that were funny. Just not really my style. I guess I'm too responsible to enjoy a book like this.

Entertaining, although exasperating at times. The main character being horribly financially and socially irresponsible, I almost didn't want things to work out for her because of how careless she seemed to be. Even so, it was a very comical read.

I tried really hard to like this book but could not. It's to frivolous and the character annoys me.

I just finished reading this first "Shopaholic" book, and thought it was a great read. At first the book seemed not quite as interesting/real as I thought it'd be, but it got better and did completely hook me.

I read "Save Karyn" first, though, so I kept comparing the two books. They were very similar, I thought, but both really entertaining. I definitely recommend.

Well Rebecca Bloomwald kept me laughing through this whole book. What a fun book to read. I think all of us can find a little something in what she had to say. I know a lot of what she went through hit very close to home. I've already ordered book 2. I really enjoyed it.

The first in the Shopaholic books. Funny, fast paced, lots of fun. Does not dissapoint.

The first in a fabulous series of five books about a lovable character who just can't stay out of trouble, because of her compulsion to shop or otherwise. I loved it so much that I had to finish the series ASAP; waiting by the mailbox for the next book to arrive until I finished the last one, sad that there wasn't another one.

Wonderfully funny and witty.

A wonderful light read. Couldn't wait to read the rest of the series.

This is a good one to read after finishing a deep or depressing book. I got fairly annoyed with the main character, but it's basically a light/amusing read. It got a little ridiculous towards the end, but I am glad I finished it--the ending redeemed the obnoxious parts. :) I will probably continue this series in between the Jodi Picoult novels I can't stop reading. Gotta have that balance of heavy and light. :)

Sophie Kinsella has tapped into the little bit of Becky in all of us. Entertaining, funny and sometimes very true.

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down, and when I finished I had to get all of the other's in the series, and all of the other books Sophie Kinsella wrote. Great author!

I liked the book. It was a fast and easy read.

Great read!

This was a nice easy read.

Fun light read

I swear I bought and read this book based on the cover and I'm so glad I did! I actually laughed out loud!

Very cute, a quick fun read!
