 The Best of Becky Bloomwood (Brandon) October 3, 2005
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Shopaholic Ties The Knot in my opinion is THE best in the Shopaholic series. This book is different from the others, because this book does not focus on Becky's spending habits and this time (miraculously) she does not end up thousands of pounds in the red.pIn fact this book focus's on Becky as she prepares for her wedding to Luke, one of which is being planned by his mother (the Ice Queen) in New York and the other which is being planned by her mother at her home in Oxshott England. This book is a laugh a minute read as the reader wonders how on earth she can get to 2 weddings, on the same day, on 2 different sides of the atlantic but in true Becky Bloomwood fashion she manages it (without the use of a Visa Card) - although I'll leave you to read it and find out how. pBecky Bloodwood is a fantastic character creation and even if you aren't (like me) a shopaholic you can still relate to this story and laugh with her (and at her) at the hilarious scrapes she gets herself into. If you haven't read the first 2 books in the series then don't worry, you can still read this one and pick up the previous story as you go along. A definiate recommendation for every shopaholic non shopaholic out there!
A thoroughly successful sequel July 8, 2002

I loved the first two Shopaholic books, and I can thoroughly recommend the third in the series. When I heard that a trilogy was planned, I was apprehensive that there could be no more mileage in the format - in the first two books, Becky Bloomwood gets spectacularly into debt and manages to rescue the situation through a combination of luck and personal initiative. How could that work a third time? Fortunately, the author doesn't try to. The plot of Shopaholic Ties the Knot instead plunges Becky onto a rollercoaster dilemma unrelated to her spending habit, but arising nonetheless from her already established weaknesses. The cast of characters from the first two books are developed and deepened, and once again it's funny, light-hearted and spot on in its observations. It's also a compulsive page-turner and if I had nothing else going on, I probably wouldn't have put it down until I read it straight through. Extremely entertaining.
Sophie does it again!!! August 15, 2002

What a great book! I couldn't put it down. Any savy girl can totally relate to Becky Bloomwood! Somehow Becky always gets herself into the most unusual situations, yet manages to make it through them. I laughed out loud throughout the entire book. Her dream career being a personal shopper and her dream man Luke, what more could a girl want (except for Sophie Kinsella to crank these books out quicker!!) All the shopaholic books are super, you won't be disappointed. (Hopefully this isn't the last of Becky Bloomwood Brandon!

Whenever I feel a cake craving coming on in future, I#8217;ll just reach for this book. A few pages is all it takes and it#8217;s like I#8217;ve eaten a luscious slice of strawberry cream gateaux. I swear I could taste sugar and champagne on every page.pKinsella has done it again with the third in a delicious trilogy of books so frothy, it melts in the mind like pink-coloured candy floss. pThere#8217;s the sumptuous shopping detail again that makes you long to rush out, spend all day in the shops and return clutching posh plastic carrier bags. pBut, even better, there#8217;s a fabulous plot that has you rushing through it in a can#8217;t-wait-to-see-what-happens way.pI think it was milked just a leeetle bit too much this time and could have been about 50 pages shorter, maybe. And some of the characterisation is more than a little stretch. Would, for example, Luke REALLY care so much for his mother#8217;s approval when he has a much nicer step mum who gladly stepped into the gap left when his truly appalling mother took off?pAh but then we wouldn#8217;t have had the rattlingly good plot, would we? And the tension was such that you really couldn#8217;t see a way out this time for Becky. This was just THE biggest mess she#8217;d ever got herself in. Just how WOULD she resolve it? pA cracker. I read it on holiday and it felt exactly like a book of this genre should feel - a real treat. A true girlie read. Save it for a wet weekend, a night in when there's nothing on the telly, a long train ride - or just when you need to treat yourself.pBrain candy at it's very VERY best...
How is Becky gonna get out of this one? September 25, 2007

What a funny book. Coming away from the shopping a bit but making us like Becky more and more. We have all been in a situation where we got a bit carried away and didn't know how to resolve it. This book had me gripped until the end again to find out where she gets married and how she lets whoever down.
