Let me introduce the novel i chose XD

Let me introduce my novel.  I chose “Bridget Jones’s Diary” written by Helen Fielding.  It is a romance novel that has a form of individual diary.  There are 271 pages in this book and I’m on 121 pages now.  This story takes part in the present-day in England.  The weather in this book is changing because it is one-year diary of Bridget Jones.  As a matter of course, Bridget Jones tells about her daily life; for example, there are her love, misunderstanding, parting and meeting.  She usually writes a sentence without a subject and uses lots of slangs.  Therefore, I cannot understand what she means perfectly.  I think it has local color that is about England and people can realized those facts in every parts of this book; indeed, there are some kinds of the British ways of talking, custom, practice and so on.  Occuring in England, this is common story about a career woman in these days so it can take place in many places.
Next I will tell about my favorite character.  To tell the truth, I like Mark Darcy who will be Bridget’s boyfriend but he doesn’t appear apparently yet on my page.  So now, I like Bridget Jones who is the main character in this book.  She is one of common career women who can’t marry because of their jobs. That is an old lady.  Frankly speaking, she doesn’t have any abilities especially about love and wishy-washy because she frequently makes mistakes.  Moreover, most people except for her friends usually ignore her.  Sometimes she even makes me embarrassed because of her foolishness and poor situations.  However she is really positive and humorous.  She is not perfect so different from main characters in other novels, and she is frank with everything.  For these reasons, I feel really familiar with her and cannot hate her.  She is worried about everything such as her weight, how she can attract the guy who she loves and so on like women in reality.  Therefore, I think I’m similar with her, and I can connect emotionally with her while I read this book.  However she’d better be more decisive on love.  She always accepts Daniel who is her boss even though he toys with her affection.  I want her not to follow only her instinct at all.  Anyway, Bridget Jones is my favorite character.
