Summary: Another winner from Ms. Fielding!
Comment: Make no doubt about it, THIS IS NOT BRIDGET JONES! Set your mind up to believe that and you'll adore this gem of a book as well. Fielding writes with great detail, passion, and humor. The book is divided into two settings, England and Africa. The main character Rosie Richardson is the link between the two. She starts out as an employee for a 'glossy' magazine. She meets many celebrities and has a celeb boyfriend, however finding her life overly stressful and slightly unmeaningful, she decides to leave her life in England behind and go to work in Africa. When a famine and locusts threaten to wipe out thousands of people near her camp, Rosie returns to England in order to strike up support and raise money for the cause. This book will keep you interested and perhaps get you motivated to make a change in your daily routine. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Viva la Cause Celeb!

Summary: Not Bridget Jones - thank goodness
Comment: Helen Fielding is better know for Bridget Jones than for Rosie Richardson, but Rosie's personality in 'Cause Celeb' is somewhat deeper than Bridget's despite a similar self-depriciating manner. Moments in 'Cause Celeb' are witty and satitical, moments are wise and sexy, but most of all, this book satirises the great 'personalities' of stage and T.V. and shows them for the shallow people they are. It also deals with the deeper subject of famine relief, highlighting the frustrations of welfare workers, and the nightmare administration that clamps the speedy arrival of proper relief for the malnourished.
You'll not read 'Cause Celeb' without laughing, but you'll not read it without a deep sense that things could be improved. At both levels, the book succeeds in telling a good story in a stylish way. Not five stars because it didn't grab me where it hurts and keep me riveted. Still plenty good enough for four.

Summary: A Mature Bridget Jones
Comment: The London sections are as funny and prone to mishaps as in "Bridget Jones Diary." Oliver and Rosie's relationship is true to life in a sad sort of way since it is based on a hot-and-cold power struggle. Rosie tries to fit with the "famous club" but isn't cut out.
In Africa she is needed. Well, actually, she thought about how much Africa would do her good, and then she found out how much good she could do for Africa. She is in charge and has friends. She even is falling for the new Medic. But impending doom from locusts may cause a famine and the only hope is a television plea to the public for aid. Every Cause must have a Celeb to succeed. So, off again to London to try to convince her Famous Club to help.
Rosie retains her new self esteem through all the hot-and-cold power plays of Oliver. Again, Bridget Jones but with a point other than finding the right guy. This was an excellent book with political and moral questions woven discreetly into the narrative.
