Haven't we All had a Mega-Boss like this？


Light, Fluffy & Leaves you Asking for More !!
This book is the "junk food " of books.
It goes down easily, sits on the soul with comfort and leaves you wanting more.
Anyone who has had Satan or one of his minions for a manager understands the anxiety and frustration of the main character Andrea.
Then you feel better that at least your manager wasn't this bad.
There are a lot of stereotypes played to the hilt but I don't believe that they are really that out of line.
The characters are somewhat flat and some are just plain unnecessary.
This book also made me understand that yes, some people do pay $40,000 for a dress.

Ouch !!
If you want a tome to soothe the soul, this is not it.
If you are in the mood for a gr8 light read, download or read this; you won't regret it.
My one complaint about this book is that a subplot that I was very interested in was left up in the air.
I don't want to go into any details and have potential readers know that this particular subplot is not fully explored, but needless to say, this was a fairly major subplot and I was a little disappointed that I didn't get to find out what happened.

Weisberger writes in a very light and airy style which makes this book gr8 for reading while lounging.
Her book is absolutely littered with pop culture references and hilariously sarcastic analogies that had me laughing out loud and making my lover stop playing video games long enough for me to read them out loud.

I have compared this book to The Nanny Diaries and I stand by this.
When you think about it, the two books are very similar ; they both offer a glimpse into the life of pampered New Yorkers as seen by their hip young employees.
While I believe this book will be especially enjoyed by recent college grads who can emphasize with undesirable post-college jobs, this book has a universal appeal for anyone who has had to deal with a difficult boss.

【Lauren Weisberger】The Devil Wears Prada
Humorously Accurate Portrayal of first job Hell !!

"The Devil Wears Prada" is one of the most amusing books I have read in quite some time.
The story of a recent Cornell graduate, "Andrea Sachs "... a.k.a. the author, Lauren Weisberger, who goes to work at "Runway " magazine for "Miranda Priestley "... the editor and chief of the magazine... anyone with even half a brain realizes that this is the story of her brief stint at Vogue magazine, as assistant to editor Anna Wintour.
Needless to say, her time at the magazine was above and beyond unpleasant, as the boss is horrifically nasty, and generally scary.
I must say that I disagree with most of what has been said of this, Lauren Weisberger's first book.

IMO, so many book reviewers and editors have lambasted this novel, not because of it's content, but because of the absolute power that Wintour holds in the publishing world.
Others weren't gutsy enough to even go near it, with the exception of one review, which stated that Lauren Weisberger has guts.
Yes, I agree that getting to work at 7:30 in the morning isn't the worst thing, and I definitely wouldn't call Amnesty International over it, but the amount of psychological torture that this young girl was put under, is to say the least, absurd.
For those of you who love the gossip columns, and to hear the insider dish of the fashion world, I recommend this book whole-heartedly... although to some, it may hit close to home.
It's not as if Anna Wintour holds any mystique.
She's simply a miserable human being who makes those around her miserable as well.

In conclusion I would like to add that all the money, prestige and style in the world cannot buy class.
Ms. Wintour, you should be ashamed, and the people that enable this behavior should hang their heads as well.
This is just a fun book , a peek inside a world that most of us know nothing about.
It is at its best when focusing on the job, rather than the relationships outside of work, but overall, it's a gr8 escape, and I predict will be seen on beaches everywhere this summer.
Everything is not tied up in a neat little package, you don't always get what you want from the plot but that's what makes it unpredictable and original.
I literally couldn't put it down.
This was a great break from my typical grouping of Ballinger, Coehlo, Palahniuk, etc. Refreshing and entertaining.

I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.
I honestly this book
I thought that it was cute, witty, stylish & probably described in accurate details of how some of the rich and famous "may " treat their personal assistants.
