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.
