Please disregard the previous answer by Skyril as the novel is aimed at adults so I did not think the novel was excessively profane. Also, I do not think the movie was better as it did not capture the humour and lovable characters in the novel. See all 14 questions about Confessions of a Shopaholic…. Lists with This Book.

May 08, Rachel rated it really liked it Recommends it for: no one! So I used to work with this girl called Sarah, who was a real no bullshit kind of person. I really liked her because she was intelligent and articulate, someone I could actually hold a conversation with. She was well read, she kept up on current events and she could talk politics while maintaining integrity and respectability. When I saw this book on the break table in the back, I never would have thought that it was hers. When I found out I made fun of her. I couldn't believe a girl like her wa So I used to work with this girl called Sarah, who was a real no bullshit kind of person. I couldn't believe a girl like her was reading one of those girly indulgent drugstore bookshelf books about some cutsey flustered vunerable woman who almost manages to overcome her sweet, sugary problems by the last few pages. Over the next few days, when I would be taking my 20 minutes for lunch, I started to leaf through the book for lack of better reading material I had read the copy of People from three months prior so many times I could probably name the make-ups, break-ups, new babies and total tramps. After a few chapters I was inexplicably hooked. I had to know what else the silly little spendthrift was going to get herself into and of course, eventually out of. I read it over the course of about 4 or 5 lunch breaks. It was easy to slip into the back of my mind, underneath the homework assignments and papers and substantial literature I was in the middle of, behind the bills to pay and the jobs to keep up with. It was the easiest book I have ever read, truly light and to be totally honest, well written. The woman has an undeniable personality and voice. I haven't been interested enough to get any of her follow up books, but every time I pass them in the The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic section at the drug store, I consider it for about half a second.

Her fear of facing her ever-growing debts cracked me up every time she would receive a new letter regarding her credit. Oh, that was so much fun.

I thought this girl book would be fun, it would be like a new girl friend, getting to now good and bad about her, how she thinks about life So, I checked it out and I read it in about 6 hours. Reason it sucked: 1. So, her prideful continuous description of these clothes she "owned" and was in debt for became ridiculous. And her constant shopping while in debt, actually started to physically stress me out. Half way into the book I felt really sad because I know that there is so many The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic who this is their reality. This shallow mindset or consumption of caffeine, sugar, shopping, "fashion" It just seemed to glorify being shallow and reinforce that if and when you are you should keep on being so because: 3.

This book is the typical chick-lit that I've grown to love, and to be fair, it's a quick read. But, my praise stops there. The main character of this book, Rebecca Bloomwood, is the most annoying, daft, and ridiculous character I have ever had the misfortune to read about. I understand that she's a "shopaholic", but I've had quite a few friends who fell into that catagory that were never in danger of being as simple-minded and arrogant as Rebecca.
