Chronicle Concering Books Does My Bum Look Big in This?

For once, I'll provide a synopsis, since whoever was supposed to do so obviously did not. So, this book is written diary style, the diary writer being one Jacqueline M. Pane, a woman in her mid-30s with cripplingly low self-esteem. Sounds a lot like Bridget Jones's Diary, I know. And, if I remember correctly, the two have a lot in common, but I haven't read Bridget Jones's Diary in many years so I can't make a better comparison than that.

Anyway, I see that a LOT of people who bothered to review Does My Bum Look Big In This? didn't like it very much, or even hated it, and the fact of the matter is ... I get it. But I personally find the complete and utter lack of self-esteem, the paranoia, the cluelessness, all of it, to be very funny! I mean, no one really thinks like this. (Well, I'm sure there are some, but no one I know so I guess I can chuckle at it!) But if people thinks it's so over-the-top it loses its funny, I get it. That's how I feel about John Oliver about 10 minutes in. I won't judge.

I also feel the need to admit that there might be a touch of nostalgia somewhere in my four stars. My brother went to London for his 26th birthday and brought back a copy of this book for me. 16-year-old me was so tickled, I read a diary entry every day to my then-best friend over the phone, and we'd crack up over it. (I ultimately wound up loaning that copy to some bum I was friends with in college and never got it back. I bought a replacement copy when I went to London myself, which upset her but she still didn't return it so I don't know why she was mad about it.) I was tickled rereading it because there is some (not much) sexy-type stuff that happens, that may or may not have been over the heads of two high schoolers who hadn't even been kissed yet. :)

So, in short, funny haha, definitely keeping.

Evaluation About Books Does My Bum Look Big in This?

This has some similarities with Bridget Jones in that it is the diary of a 30 something single woman trying to get her life sorted out. But Jackie is a 100 times more neurotic, to the point where her repeative and constant melodramatic thoughts about her bum, other parts of her body etc are exhausting to read. Somebody please give this woman a tranquiliser!!!! I never really connected with her as a character either, and a side mention to "those awful Jane Austen films" didn't win any points

Love this book! Everything Bridget Jones should have been and wasn't. I found it real and hilarious. I read it when I was quite young and was in awe, it gave me an understanding that women all have the same hang ups which led me to be a lot accepting of myself as I grew up. A perfect read fast, heartfelt and very funny.

This book was amazing. I was told that throughout the book I would refer to myself and it is true. There were many times where I could not help myself and ended up laughng out loud. Fantastic read.

This book failed the 50 Page Rule (I actually gave it closer to 80, in the hopes that it would improve). The protagonist is unbearably stupid and I wanted to smack her upside the head. She's clearly getting attention from very nice men, and assumes that it's all a gag. I have to assume so, too, given that she's such a pain. Arabella Weir is such a joy to hear and see on television; I would have loved if she had injected some of that wit into this story. I had to give up on it.

I really did not like this book and found it a struggle to finish, not because it was badly written or hard to read but because the main character was so unbelievable, so negative and so paranoid. Written as a diary of a 30-something woman working in an industry where looks are apparantly important (not convinced myself but who knows) the level of negativity, self-critism, delusion and outright paranoia was that high it just felt like one book length stereotype taken to extremes. It was only in

I really didn't know what to make of this book - some people say its hilarious and others say it is dire. I think I have to go with the latter - didn't really enjoy it at all.Back Cover Blurb:This is the diary of an ordinary, insecure woman in her thirties, Jacqueline M. Pane. Like all women, Jackie knows that life would be perfect if only she had a small bum, sticky-up bosoms, and didn't grow a moustache once a month.....Chart her progress as she perfects the art of feeling shitty about every
