My favorite fictional character

I want to sound less superficial with my choice of fictional character but I just really love this character and although I could probably write about a serious character that I love..I prefer to write about my less serious and quite frivolous character here ..My favorite fictional character has to be Rebecca Bloomwood from the Shopaholic book series by Sophie Kinsella.I have all of the books under the Shopaholic series.The first one was Confessions of a Shopaholic,and then it was Shopaholic takes Manhattan,Shopaholic ties the knot,Shopaholic and Sister and the latest one was Shopaholic and Baby.

Because of the fact that she has an incredible taste in fashion and she has an almost perfect life.Sure,she does get into trouble once in awhile because of her spending habit but she's only human.And it's so funny the way she gets into trouble and reading the stories that Sophie Kinsella wrote about her never fails to make me laugh.Some of Becky moments that I love is when she hides her credit card statement from her husband(almost all the time) or when she concocted this huge lie so that she can borrow 20 pounds to add to the only 100 pounds that she had during a seminar,in order to buy a scarf that was on sale...And when she found out that she has a half-sister and she tries to make her feel welcome only to find out that she's totally different from her.Or her dilemma over her wedding and her first time discovering New York.

I guess the reason why I like Rebecca so much or Becky, as she is called in the books, is because she's someone that girls can relate too.Girls who loves fashion and who loves to shop.And she's just so funny and the fact that she has a great husband,bestfriend and parents,made her character looks almost perfect.Reading stories about Becky is a form of escapism for me because I'm always exposed to serious materials and books that require you to fully concentrate and all,especially for my study.So reading about Becky and her life is fun and entertaining and I hope that Sophie Kinsella will continue to write more books about Becky and her life.
