Summary: More boring than...well, anything!
Review: The plot is lame, the characters are unlikable, the writing is mediocre. This was one of the most disappointing books I have encountered in a long time. Despite the great title, the main character is a pathetic, spineless wretch whose life's ambition seems to be being a doormat for a vain, self-absorbed, nasty woman executive who treats her miserably. I forced myself to get halfway through the book hoping that it would improve ... it didn't!0 out of 5 stars - although Amazon doesn't list 0 as a choice!

Summary: A fun, light read
Review: I admit this is not one of the best books I have read, but I definitely enjoyed getting engrossed in the life of Miranda and Andrea. I read the long book in a couple of days and never felt bored with the plot or characters. The sub-plot of Andrea's relationship with her boyfriend, Alex, and her writer/crush, Christian, didn't seem to flow with the rest of the book (and got on my nerves a little), but overall it was funny to read of the horrible fashion editor and her smartmouthed assistant. This book is fun - not intellectual - and I really liked how it ended.

Summary: Fun, Easy Read
Review: OK, so we know this book isn't going to win any awards,however if your looking for a light,fun,easy read this is the title for you. And I did receive more then a few looks while giggling on the train at some of the antics that Miranda pulled on Alex. We have all had a boss someplace in our lives that have done similar things, so we can all relate to poor Alex. However, you have to read it to the end to end to see what becomes of the characters. Throughly enjoyed reading this book, and kudos to the author.

Summary: Don't waste your time or your money.
Review: If you must read this then get it at the library like I did. This author is presumptuous to believe she could ever work for a quality, albeit fairly generic publication such as the "New Yorker". She writes the way I talk, which is an endless nervous babble to get all my thoughts out in a short timespan. Really, this was a big waste of time, and whenever anyone asked me what it was I was reading, I replied "a junky book".

Summary: ******** ???????? **********
Review: First off, I'm barely at page 100. This is a good book if you have insomnia; it will virtually disappear after a few pages. Shallow, shallow reading, no depth whatsoever, & the writing, I must add, is horrible. She has no "prose" whatsoever, just plain sentences. It's like reading something from junior high, only with a few "big" words.
I will try & finish it though. It's only fair to give her a shot, right?
Hipe is the ONLY way this book sold. I such high hopes!
And I am so glad I am not a New Yorker. How embarrassing! If there's a miracle half-way through the book, I may change the rating. Not likely though.

Summary: This is still on the shelves?
Review: I truly disliked this book, from the bottom of my heart....poor writing for someone who has wanted to write for the New Yorker, not to mention that it is told in such poor taste. I just saw someone in my bldg. with the book in her hand in the elevator. I told her not to waste her time reading a couple hundred pages of whining and complaining...not to mention horrible dialogue, which shows nothing good about "Andrea" and her attitude regarding work. I think almost everyone could write a book like this.....except she has some nerve writing it about such a highly respected editor! Really - what does it take to write a book of your own personal complaints? Weisberger should have stuck to writing in a journal or something.

Summary: An Easy Read!
Review: It's a book you can read in 1 or 2 days. Only because you want
to know what happens to Andrea. We all know what a boss from hell is like, so you can only wonder if this was a true book
about Anne Wintour! It's a good book to curl up with on nice
winter day. I hope she does another book, so we can see what
happens to Andrea when she starts work at 17 and what happens
to Emily and more important Miranda. Will she gone down with the magazine! Write more Lauren!

Summary: Slightly Bored
Review: This book started out as a good read but then it got too detailed and long. I wanted to read more about Andreas', the main character, personal relationships of friends and family, but instead the book trailed of into a long detail about fashion and brands etc. This book is o.k. but a little too descriptive.
Rating:
Summary: An entertaining, easy read
Review: If you're looking for an entertaining mildly stimulating read for the bathtub or the beach, this is the book for you! It is definitely a "smart" chick lit book; no ditziness, and there are real problems presented in the book. Anyone can relate to the insanely infuriating boss in this book! Enjoy! :-)

Summary: I LOVED this book.
Review: It was entertaining, it grabbed me right away and I read it straight through. Surprisingly, I have read a lot of nasty, negative comments about the author (ungrammatical, inept writer, no plot, etc...)and all I can say is the people who are saying those nasssssty things are probably really jealous that they didn't write something so fresh and hoppin' when they were right out of college. I loved the fist Shopaholic book but this was better.
