I haven't read Shopaholic & Sister yet but I did read: Confessions of a Shopaholic , Shopaholic Takes Manhattan , & Shopaholic Ties The Knot . They were all great. I heard that Shopaholic & Sister wasn't as good as the first three but now that you say it's funny, I am definitely going to read it. Sophie Kinsella is hilarious! :-6

it seems so long since i read the first 3 but yeah i can see how some people would say the last one wasnt as good, it dealt with her a little more seriously just in terms of finding a long lost sister, but i liked that it put her in a real proper life situation

i think it was a really good read

She is an English writer.. so the terminlogy can be confusing... Main character is a cop on in some special crimes unit.. has alittle of everything .. profiling.. mystery.. etc. good reads both of them.

The Sea of Glory by Nathaniel Philbrick, he was the guy who wrote In the Heart of The sea as well which was also excellent
