5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous, 23 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I thought this book was very entertaining and Arabella Weir gave a really good impression of a thirty-something woman's life.I have read this book at least four times and each time i find the story funny. She made the book fun but included some seriousness into the woman's life. She showed how some small things can rule a person's life and how love made this life so much better. She helped people see that what other people think of you should not rule your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars That's my book!, 3 Sep 2001
By A Customer
I think those who didn't rate this novel at least 4 stars, haven't ever really had problems with the size of their bums. I bumped into Arabella's book truly accidentally, in a library of foreign books here in Hungary - when I was about to find something highbrow to read - and I've chosen Arabella instead. This whole Bridget Jones hysteria didn't seem to have reached Hungary at that time, so this was my first encounter to this type of diary-like women-novel - and I can tell you I was amazed! At the moment I'm planning to translate it to Hungarian, because Hungarian women are quite sure to love it just like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest thing in a long time!, 10 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Does My Bum Look Big in This?: The Diary of an Insecure Woman (Hodder Summer Reading) (Paperback)
Arabella Weir had me in stitches with this book. I must have read it at least a dozen times now and every time it still has the same effect. Jaqueline M Payne is so irritatingly paranoid that its funny, what with falling over on holiday to berating "Downstairs Man" and then pretending she had an anyerism! Jackie is so funny in this book and it brings some light relief to your own world. I enjoyed this book so much that I bought it on Audio Tape. I would recommend this book to anyone, I found it hysterical at times, even though Jackie is a bit too paranoid to be believable, the scrapes and situations she finds herself in are so cringeworthy its funny. Definitly worth a read if you want a good laugh!

this is a funny book. I read it for the first time years ago and found it hilarious. Reading it back after the Bridget Jones' diaries, doesn't make it justice though.
