On the face of it, Rebecca Bloomwood has it all. Confident, single and happily living in des-res Fulham with her best friend Suze, she's a financial journalist who spends her days writing articles advising other people on the importance of budgeting and prudent investing. Her private life is a different story though; Rebecca manages her own finances in a way that would make most of her readers' hair curl--for Rebecca is a woman on a mission--she just can't stop spending. I look up and I'm in front of Octagon. My favourite shop in the whole world. Three floors of clothes, accessories, furnishing, gifts, coffee shops, juice bars and a florist which makes you want to fill your entire home with flowers. I've got my purse with me. Just something small, to cheer me up. A T-shirt or something. Or even some bubble bath. I won't spend much. I'll just go in and... I'm already pushing my way through the doors. Oh God, the relief. The warmth, the light. This is where I belong. This is my natural habitat. As the plot unfolds, Rebecca finds increasingly bizarre and often highly comical ways to ignore her ever-growing debts and mounting pile of unpaid Visa bills and red bank statements. Got a bill you can't pay? No problem. Just take it out for a walk and deposit it in the nearest skip whilst no-one is looking. Need to justify that 120 velvet scarf? Don't worry! It was a snip at half price in the sale, so what initially looks like a splurge is actually an example of canny discount shopping. Rebecca's disastrous love life mirrors her finances. And her career seems to be taking a turn for the worse, too. That is, until she finds a financial story that really sparks her journalistic interest, and begins to spar with handsome and successful financial PR millionaire Luke Brandon. Witty, light-hearted and often hilarious, The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic is the ideal read for anyone who has ever found themselves mentally justifying rash purchases in their heads, or buying just one more pair of black trousers because they are so different from the other eight pairs in their wardrobe. --Emily Lowson

If you've ever paid off one credit card with another, thrown out a bill before opening it, or convinced yourself that buying at a two-for-one sale is like making money, then this silly, appealing novel is for you. In the opening pages of Confessions of a Shopaholic, recent college graduate Rebecca Bloomwood is offered a hefty line of credit by a London bank. Within a few months, Sophie Kinsella's heroine has exceeded the limits of this generous offer, and begins furtively to scan her credit-card bills at work, certain that she couldn't have spent the reported sums. In theory anyway, the world of finance shouldn't be a mystery to Rebecca, since she writes for a magazine called Successful Saving. Struggling with her spendthrift impulses, she tries to heed the advice of an expert and appreciate life's cheaper pleasures: parks, museums, and so forth. Yet her first Saturday at the Victoria and Albert Museum strikes her as a waste. Why? There's not a price tag in sight. It kind of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it? You wander round, just looking at things, and it all gets a bit boring after a while. Whereas if they put price tags on, you'd be far more interested. In fact, I think all museums should put prices on their exhibits. You'd look at a silver chalice or a marble statue or the Mona Lisa or whatever, and admire it for its beauty and historical importance and everything--and then you'd reach for the price tag and gasp, "Hey, look how much this one is!" It would really liven things up. Eventually, Rebecca's uncontrollable shopping and her "imaginative" solutions to her debt attract the attention not only of her bank manager but of handsome Luke Brandon--a multimillionaire PR representative for a finance group frequently covered in Successful Saving. Unlike her opposite number in Bridget Jones's Diary, however, Rebecca actually seems too scattered and spacey to reel in such a successful man. Maybe it's her Denny and George scarf. In any case, Kinsella's debut makes excellent fantasy reading for the long stretches between white sales and appliance specials. --Regina Marler

Becky a un probleme: elle aime les belles choses mais n'a pas le porte-feuille adapte. Novembre 2, 2007

Elle craque sur tout, mais ne se prive pas, satisfaisant sa boulimie du shopping a l'aide d'une multitude de trucs et astuces, auxquelles finalement, nous avions bien pense nous-memes, sans jamais oser les mettre en oeuvre. Bref ! Elle vit sa vie et ses envies telles qu'elles se presentent, tout en gardant le coeur sur la main pour sa famille et ses amis. Le livre est une veritable bouffee d'air et un excellent anti-deprime - fou-rires garantis ! Les autres livres de la serie, tout en gardant le meme style, sont tout aussi rafraichissants. Je recommande stongly-The Fates de Tino Georgiou-Superbe.
vive Becky!!! Octobre 19, 2007
Mlle Magali Bernard (Toulon, France)
Ma passion pour les aventures de Becky a demarre il y a 2 ans et depuis j'ai lu tous les livres sauf "Shopaholic & Baby" que je vais commander sous peu.
A l'origine de mon choix : mon souhait d'entretenir mon niveau d'anglais apres quelques temps passes a Londres, et mon envie de me distraire. Resultat : je suis accro et j'en redemande !!!
Vivement les prochaines aventures !!
Une serie a lire dans l'ordre, de preference Juin 23, 2007

Il m'a fallu quelques recherches pour comprendre dans quel ordre il fallait lire cette serie de livres, d'autant plus qu'il existe deux titres pour les deux premiers - edites en GB et aux USA avec des titres differents.
Donc:
1) Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (GB)/Confessions of a Shopaholic (USA)
2) Shopaholic Abroad (GB)/shopaholic Takes Manhattan (USA)
3) Shopaholic Ties the Knot
4) Shopaholic and Sister
5) Shopaholic and Baby
Le texte des deux versions des deux premiers livres est a peu pres pareil, sauf quelques differences d'orthographe ...
Il est preferable de les lire dans l'ordre, mais pas indispensable, l'auteur fait reference a des faits dans les livres qui precedent.
