The Devil Wears Prada is Lauren Weisberger’s first book, and details the experiences of Brown graduate, Andrea Sachs in her first job as personal assistant to the high-profile, fabulously successful Miranda Priestly, editor of Runway magazine. The book is said to be based on Weisberger’s time at Vogue, working for Anna Wintour. This book is pretty funny and is probably quite an accurate picture of the fashion industry, especially the ostentation and the obscene waste of money. Literature, it isn’t; it is, basically, a litany of the progressively more outrageous demands made on her staff by the editor of a top fashion magazine and a tedious catalogue of brand names. The editor is painted as a cold-hearted, demanding, unreasonable monster; her staff are portrayed as anorexic image-obsessed minions without personality. This book confirms for me why I care nothing for the superficial world of fashion.

This book might take a little while to develop, however once it does get to the main plot it proves an excellent read. As a reader a person can laugh and feel frustrated along with the narrator, Andy. She provides an inside look into the fashion world, but also what it is like to work for a boss from Hell. Weisberger does a great job with this book.

by JANE Not very good.
300 + pages of someone making unreasonable demands on another person. Not much fun to read and a lot of it was not believable.
The descriptions of fashion were good I don't think the average reader cares much about or even knows the difference between a fendi bag and any other bag.
I don't understand how this book was a bestseller.

I enjoyed this book only because I wanted to get THRU IT and I was waiting for a climax. I felt as though something exciting was going to occur but it really never did,.Too bad, I think she could have done more with it..really. [remainder of reviewing deleted due to plot spoiler]

So-so at best. I recall this book lingering on the bestsellers' list for weeks on end and, for the life of me, cannot figure out why. I forced myself to complete the book only because I kept expecting it to get interesting. Sadly, it never did.
Fearless, gripping, at once darkly funny and tender, spanning three continents and numerous lives, Americanah is a richly told story set in today's globalized world.
The story of an American family, middle class in middle America, ordinary in every way but one. But that exception is the beating heart of this extraordinary novel.
