Shopaholic ties the knot

Shopaholic ties the knot is the third book of the shopaholic book serie. It was published in 2002.It is a chick-lit novel written by Sophie Kinsella. There are all together seven books in the shopaholic series. These books are in my opinion directed to teenage girls. In each book the story is about Becky Bloomwood’s life. The theme in the books are mainly the relationships between people.
This book consentrates on Becky’s and his fiance Luke’s wedding. Becky has big problems on deciding which kind of wedding she really wants. Luke’s mother wants a giant princess wedding and Becky’s mother wants a small family wedding. Becky can’t make the choise in time because she doesn’t want to upset anyone. So after all she ends up with two weddings one in America and one in England. So the book mainly is about this cituation and Becky trying to solve it. And of course she didn’t tell anything about it to Luke or to anyone else.
I haven’t read the earlier parts of the serie but it didn’t really matter. The characters were introduced well in the beginning and all the other basic things the reader should know. The book was really fun to read. There were many humorious parts and they were plased right. While reading this book I all the time imagined in my head what the charaters and the wievs would look like. The writer describes just enough everything still leaving space for the reader’s own imagination. It was also quite easy to read. Not just the language was easy but also the story. While reading this book you don’t have to think all the time what’s going on or who is the writer now talking about. It isn’t filled whit too many characters and places but on the other hand there is enough things to keep the readers interest high.
I have also watched the movie Confessions of a shopaholic which is based on the Shopaholic book serie. I myself didn’t even at first realise that they were connected to each other. I had read the book before i watched the movie and I had imagined everythig so different in comparison with the movie. There were many little details that weren’t in the movie which were in the book and vice versa. But after watching the movie and comparing it to the book there were also a lot in common and many things came up.
I would recommend this book to people who just want to read without thinking too much. In this book the plot is easy to follow and it is easy to identify with the characters. This book is entertainig and definetly will make you laugh, just like GLAMOUR commented on the book: ”a laugh-a-minute read that’s guaranteed to entertain you.”
