Commentary 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.

Write-Up Based On Books Does My Bum Look Big in This?

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.



I wasn't sure at first if this was supposed to be a parody of Bridget Jones's Diary but it's not quite exaggerated enough for parody so I think it's just something in the same style. It could have been funny but the main character is so negative, I quickly wanted to strangle her. It's hard to enjoy being with people who are constantly criticising themselves and that goes for characters in books as much as real life. She (and therefore the book) gets a little better towards the end and I even

Although I have read some negative reviews of this book I enjoyed it. Main character Jacqueline Pane is more than a bit neurotic about the size of her bum. She feels that she is too big of a woman to succeed in life and love. The book is told in diary style of her life and all the desperate (and sometimes funny) things she does to try hide the fact that she is a size 12 (or 14 or 16 depending on the store she buys her clothes) living in a size 8 world.

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

Absolutely hilarious book! Laugh out loud kind of book!
