Book Review of Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, Bk 1)

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, Bk 1)
reviewed on + 56 more book reviews


Laugh out loud funny well written and witty (as are all of Kinsella's books) Becky Bloomwood shares her from the heart story of the highs and lows of being a "shopaholic" While the movie may have gotten some rash reviews due to the fact that (quoted from one review) "her over the top spending isn't something viewers want to see or sympathize with during this economic recession" However, I found many instances in the book where I laughed out loud not only because of Becky's witty humor but becuase I could totally relate to a lot of her experiences as a "shopaholic" myself...........OK so I'm not anywhere NEAR as extreme as Becky but what girl doesn't have at least a little shopaholic in her??? I still have yet to see the movie so I cannot say whether it does this book any justice, however, I can definitly say this book was one of my most recent faves.... I immidiatly started "shopaholic takes manhattan" after i finished this one and am currenltly almost finished with the series (and can also say that the other shopaholic books do not dissapoint!!!)
