Product Description

Disillusioned by her glitzy life in London and her desirable but cruel TV-presenter boyfriend, Rosie Richardson chucks it all in and spends four years running a refugee camp in Africa. Then famine strikes in a nearby province and an influx of starving refugees threatens to overwhelm the camp. Frustrated by the cautious response of the aid agencies, Rosie decides on a drastic short-term solution. She returns to London, breaks back into the celebrity circuit, and brings the celebs out to Africa for a star-studded TV emergency appeal.

After reading Bridget Jones' Diary, I scoured the bookshelves for another Helen Fielding offer and wasn't disappointed. If anything, Cause Celeb beat the Diary for depth and sincerity, but continued the real life drama and humour styles that left me with tears running down my face from both the pain and joy it evoked. Excellent read.

This book is wonderful, it is beautifully written, with all the warmth, humour and honesty of 'Bridget Jones's Diary' but so much more besides. It makes you feel happy and inspired and tearful. The characters are excellently portrayed and realistic and her descriptions and dialogue are humourous and poignant. When I finished it I wanted to read it all over again. Even if you didn't like 'Bridget Jones's Diary' read this book!!!

Fielding writes well when she writes about girls in publishing, when our heroine Rosie, goes to Africa on a promotional trip her priorities change and she realises how shallow her life was in London, thus giving her the strength to walk away from her relationship to go and help in a refugee camp. Four years on and there is a potential crisis. The camps need food urgently and bureaucracy is getting in the way so Rosie takes matters in her own hands and uses her contacts to get a media appeal up and running.

I don't want to go into anymore details but the book is lovely, though it is emotional. Rosie's original London character is a bit pathetic, but she comes out the other side. The book is griping and entertaining but not particularly challenging, although the subject matter is a bit different from most books in the chick lit genre.

Not the lightweight novel it at first seems!
This is the first novel by Helen Fielding of Bridget Jones fame which she wrote in 1994. Surprisingly I never read until now. Read more

Better than Bridget Jones
Those who found the succès fou of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones books too fou for their taste may yet appreciate Cause Celeb. Read more

Actually preferred the cassettes!
The cassettes, narrarated by Bernadette Quigley, are really fun. They carried me through a dull patch of a long car trip, Florida to Chicago! Read more

Brilliant
Couldn't put this one down. Easy to read and gripping, fast paced tale. Well done to Helen Fielding. More like this please.

Interesting but lost the plot in the middle as usual
Much much better than Bridget Jones, more thought provoking but nevertheless gripping to read despite the loss of plot in the middle part of the book. Read more

A Different Kind of Read
This was one different book! Not only was it entertaining and humorous but it made you think as well. I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Infinitely better than "Bridget Jones' Diary"
This book is so much better than Bridget Jones' Diaries. Rosie is a sensible woman who seems efficient and gets things done. Read more

It just manages to fail. Disappointing.
This book falls into exactly the trap that it's moralising about.

That is, a bunch of champagne celebs juxtaposed with the image of starving children is considered to be crass... Read more

read it in two evenings!!
This book is the perfect antedote to interminable northerly winter nights. When it is dark from 1530 hrs and 1930 hrs seems like bedtime, sharing Bridgets trials and tribulations... Read more
