I loved Ms. Weisberger's Devil Wears Prada. Having picked it up at a bookstore in Florence, it seemed the perfect light read but little did I know that evil ensues, directly at a heroine who never fails to describe herself as a potential supermodel hottie with a heart of gold and all those around her, particularly Miranda, as hatefulness personfied. The odd part is why having suffered for eleven months and some days toward her goal of surviving a year to cash out and get a dream job did she end it all for no particular point except to prove her ability to utter profanities toward her boss at a Paris runway show? While no one else would do that, and therefore, she stands out, those other weaklings are employed and her only hoppes of employment come from those who seem to hate Miranda as much as she does. While the other characters, such as Alex and Lily, take up space, some like Emily and James are truly to be pitied, and one wonders whether Nigel is in fact, Andre Leon Talley? If he's not, he should sue and why Anna Wintour didn't sue, particularly after her name is gratuitously used at the end is beyond me. If it's all true, and it may be, despite the disclaimer that it's all fiction, Miranda aka Anna is truly unique, which is probably more than you can say for Ms. Weisberger. As she says, damn her for being right.

I like this book because I understand Andrea. I understand why she stays in the hellish job. It's not that difficult to comprehend. And I did care about the characters. Unless you've been in a similar situation (albeit this one was a little over the top -- on purpose, I'm sure) you probably won't get this book. If you try to feel what she's feeling and get into her life, you'll understand why she makes the decisions she does. You'll also feel a lot better about your own job -- whatever it is.

I loved Andrea, Lily, and Alex, and I could feel for Emily. You might say this book is a good vs. evil

As a fashion conscious teenage girl, I found the The Devil Wears Prada an appealing title. The appeal of the novel however, pretty much stops there. Though the book provided insights into the world of High Fashion, there were no moments where I thought 'wow, I didn't know that'. I did however, appreciate the detail that was put into describing the designer clothes.

I also feel that the story took to long to establish itself, and I originally found it difficult to sympathise with the book's main character Andrea, who is constantly put down by her 'boss from hell'. I found myself annoyed with her for not just quitting when she hated her job so much. I also felt that a lot of the book was just her complaining and not taking action to do anything about it... which is frustrating to read. I found the action's of her boss to be a tad unbelievable, and the rest of the characters a little bland and underdeveloped. The story itself is also quite predictable, and I was often able to guess the next turn of events.

Though The Devil Wears Prada is certainly not one of those books that you can't put down, it's readable - particuarly for young teenage girls who are into designer labels and fashion.

This book is a wonderfully light and entertaining read, and shines a new light on the fashion industry. Andrea is a vivid, moving character, and the narration is done so that we're carried through a stage in her life with just enough detail. Halfway through, though, I thought that the 'journalistic' style of the book was a little tiring; Miranda's demanding requests were beginning to get a little too monotonous and predictable. Overall, I love this book, but I wouldn't recommend it as an intellectual read. It's a light, fun book to pass through your spare time.

This book was hysterical. "Andrea's" sarcastic wit combined with "Miranda's" ridiculous behavior was a perfect match. I often found myself laughing outload only to look up and find people looking at me. The book was a quick read that should make anyone else feel better about their own boss/job.

I thought this book was incredible. i barely ever read books but this one i could not put down form the minute I started readinit . It does potray many bosses form all differnt types of companies in different industires.

"The Devil Wears Prada" started out as a promisingly funny and entertaining book, but soon fell flat. After the first 200 pages, I found myself wondering where the book was going to go. So, she didn't like her boss or her job, then quit your job or quit complaining about it. The book and it's characters went nowhere. She might as well not have mentioned her roommate/friend or her boyfriend because the characters didn't evolve in the slightest bit. There seemed to be the hint that something may happen in the book, but alas, nothing never did. That is unless hearing the main character of the book, Andrea or whatever, complain endlessly about her boss and her job counts as something. If anyone told me that they planned on reading this book, I would seriously advise them to put that idea aside and read a book that is worth their time. I could sum up the main character's philosophy and/or the entire book in a few words, "boo hoo, I hate my job. (more tears), I hate my boss.(yet more tears) Let's just continually complain about it,(sobbing now)I have it sooooo bad.

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
This was more of a 'journal' style not unlike "I don't know How She Does it" or "The Nanny Diaries". This is the story of a 20-something college graduate/aspiring writer who lands the job of assistant to the editor of a large fashion magazine. The editor and now her boss is portayed as a complete monster of a human being: demanding, rude, wasteful and downright insensitive. While I am not a big fan of fashion magazines even I figured she had to have worked for either Vogue, Vanity Fair or, at the least, Cosmo! The details were far and away too accurate to not have had such an experience first hand. That said, I found parts of it so unbelievable that I could not fathom a boss/ human being who could be so utterly self absorbed. Some parts are quite funny and I enjoyed reading the book. I will, however, never read a fashion magazine again without checking to see if by rearranging the letters of the editors name you can spell oh...say... Lucifer von Satan!
