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.

"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!

This was an amusing read but way overly reminiscent of "The Nanny Diaries". Both books are sad in their probably accurate portrayal of the disdainful super-rich.
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.
