Cause Celeb Audiobook

" I think there is a reason why this was unpublished in the U.S... this really is a boring book. "

" I like chick lit, but it's not my favorite genre. It's what I read for fun I guess. This is the first book I have read from Helen Fielding and I liked Cause Celeb. I gave it only two stars because Rosie wasn't very good main character and there were a couple of things that annoyed me. But I laughed a little and the story was much better than I expected. "

" It's an interesting and odd mix of hilarity and horror. "

" Read it because I tried to get my hands on anything Fielding wrote. It had a decent storyline but it was no BJD. "

" I randomly discovered this book when I was living in Senegal, which may have made me like it more since it's about Africa, but I just loved it. I can read it over and over again. "

" As the one Helen Fielding book that is an entirely original story (as in, not ripped from the pages of Jane Austen), this is actually a well written and interesting novel. "

" This book was not what I expected of it. I came to it after reading Bridget Jones's Diary and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting a rather self-richeous main character, so it was comforting to find Fielding had created a character who was appealing and likeable. Though not as entertaining as Bridget Jones, Rosie's story is thought-provoking. The book makes it clear Fielding very much cares about poverty and the issues she tackles in her first novel. "

" I was eager to read a book from Helen Celeb, author of Bridget Jones Diary, that discussed a humanitarian crisis in Africa. I think she did a good job of combining heartache (similar to Bridget's) and cause, but there was something about it that just didn't resonate with me as a compelling read. "

" Not as good as the Bridget Jones books, but not horrible like Olivia Joules. "

" A read inspired by my recent travels. Not bad for a first novel. "

" I read all but about 30 pages, months ago, and have no desire to finish. "

" Hated it! I couldn't even finish it "

" So incrediby bad that it made Bridget Jones actually seem like a good book "

" Before there was Bridget, there was Cause Celeb! Very good novel about a woman who travels to Africa as an aid worker. "

" What a shame that this little gem (albeit a chick lit gem ) should be so overlooked for Bridget Jones. Altogether smarter and witter. You end up asking important questions about the world without realizing it. "

" Was really disappointed with this book after reading Bridget Jones "

" Between the effective descriptions of African famine in the mid-80's/early 90's and the completely unlikeable celebrity characters (all of them), it was hard to find anything to keep you going reading this book. I finished it but I didn't want to. "

" Wow, totally different than I thought it was going to be. Interesting commentary on the notion of celebrity. "

" Couldn't get through it. It was not very interesting, even though I am interested in plenty of the topics. "

" Meh. Lacks the charm of Bridget Jones. The heroine is kind of an idiot, and she bothered me a lot. "

" Too funny! Loved it! "

" It took me a while to finish this book b/c I just wasn't that into it. It was ok and at parts I laughed out loud. I liked her Bridget Jones's Diary books much better, funnier and more entertaining. "

" Loved this- thinking of re-reading it too! "

" Has a slightly similar love triangle aspect like Bridget Jones'. I found this book an easy read. Rosie, the main character is admirable and dedicated. The background for this novel is interesting, and opened my mind to realities of hunger, poverty and war in Africa. "

" I liked this better than either of the Bridget Jones books. "

" This is one of these books where it is unclear whether or not I actually like it. "

" It wasn't a bad book. I guess I just expected more humor and likeability of characters. "

" Bought this in London, after reading both Bridget Jones books. It's a pretty unique plot, which is something you couldn't say for the first Bridget Jones (based on Pride & Prejudice). "

" This was a really good book, not as light and fluffy as some of her others. "

" A light-hearted satire that takes a look at celebrity causes and humanitarian efforts, while incorporating some romance and a bit of self-growth for the main character, Rosie. Enjoyable. "

" Maybe a 3.5. Pretty smart for a chick book. Started out kind of light, but all of the parts set in Africa were very interesting. I think this one will stay with me. "

" As the one Helen Fielding book that is an entirely original story (as in, not ripped from the pages of Jane Austen), this is actually a well written and interesting novel. "

" I gave it 4 stars because I personally feel related to the story. "

" This is Bridget Jones meets refugee camp - made for a bit of an uneven story, like the book couldn't decide if it was chick lit about relationships, or a serious commentary on poverty, war, and hunger in Africa. "

" Not heavy, but I really liked it. It allowed me to fulfill a lifetime fantasy with out ever leaving my living room. Feel good read. "

" ah. wijvenboek, natuurlijk. maar wel behoorlijk goed, met al die hongersnoden en al. "

" I liked this better than either of the Bridget Jones books. "

" After 'Bridget Jones's Diary', I thought I'd love this too, but no, alas, I put it down 1/4 way through.....maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this kind of book at the time and may try it again another day. "

" Fielding's first novel is awful! Maybe it was writing practice for her second book, Bridget Jones' Diary? "

" A cut above other holiday trash. "

" Nice, though a bit too melodramatic and sad. Happy end included. "
