At the close of the last millennium, Helen Fielding debuted the irrepressible (and blockbuster-bestselling) Bridget Jones. Now, Fielding gives us a sensational new heroine for a new era . . . Move over 007, a stunning, sexy-and decidedly female-new player has entered the world of international espionage. Her name is Olivia Joules (that’s "J.O.U.L.E.S. the unit of kinetic energy") and she's ready to take America by storm with charm, style, and her infamous Overactive Imagination.

How could a girl not be drawn to the alluring, powerful Pierre Ferramo-he of the hooded eyes, impeccable taste, unimaginable wealth, exotic international homes, and dubious French accent? Could Ferramo really be a major terrorist bent on the Western world’s destruction, hiding behind a smokescreen of fine wines, yachts, and actresses slash models? Or is it all just a product of Olivia Joules’s overactive imagination?

Join Olivia in her heart-stopping, hilarious, nerve-frazzling quest from hip hotel to eco-lodge to underwater cave, by light aircraft, speedboat, helicopter, and horse, in this witty, contemporary, and utterly unputdownable novel deluxe.

    I found this book humerous and a little far fetched. It reminded me of Fieldings other novels about Bridget Jones. I could definately see her writing a sequel to this.I think this book would appeal to female YAs. Fielding's style kind of reminds me of Meg Cabot's adult books. It is definately a fun read, but not thought provoking.The reader Josephine Bailey was fun to listen to, she even did a pretty good imitation of President Bush.

  • Olivia Joules and the Over Active Imagination

    At the beginning this book had the feel of a pretty decent cozy mystery but then it started to loose focus.

  • Enjoyed the second part much better, it was a slow starting book with an overactive imagination to even think it possible

  • After reading 3 novels from Helen Fielding, I finally reached the conclusion that her novels are rich in entertaining details, but lacks plausible plots. The books are definitely fun to read, but the stories really have "overactive imagination".
