[.ca] Olivia Joules And The Over Active Imagination (ISBN 0143035363)

bring it with you to the beach / cottage:
Excellent read while you're on vacation - Fielding delivers another funny, light-hearted story with a heroine that you just start to root for from page one.

WAY better than Bridget!:
I really really liked Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination. Okay, so the plot wasn't exactly perfect -- it runs all over the place and leaves you in the dust, wondering what on earth just happened more than once -- but it is SOOOOOO funny. I laughed so much, and I just loved all the characters. I think I enjoyed this book a lot more than the two Bridget Jones books because Olivia Joules actually has a BRAIN. Bridget is just a bumbling fat fool (albeit a lovable one), but Olivia means business! I definitely recommend this book. :)

Such Fun to Read!:
If you're looking for a fluffy, fun, brain candy book, this is it! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It's a combination of Bridgette Jones and Stephanie Plum (the "lingerie sales clerk turned bounty hunter" heroine in author Janet Evanovich's series of novels). So the plot is unrealistic - big deal! It's a fun read! Few books make me laugh out loud like this one did.

Easy to put down and forget:
I had high hopes for this book having enjoyed both Bridget Jones book. One word -- BORING. The character was super annoying and the plot very weak and absurd.

Brain Candy for Summer Holidays:
Although not as good as Bridget Jones, this book was still light and fun. It kept me reading right until the end, laughing out loud at the silliness of Olivia - a good charachter who displays values as well as imagination!
