Review: This is a complete copy of the Nanny Diaries with less subadtance. if you want a quick funny read, read the Nanny Diaries instead of this imitation.

Summary: WONDERFULLY ENJOYABLE
Review: I thought this was a great book. It was funny, the characters were likeable, the plot ( and sub plots) were interesting - I read it in 2 days - my boyfirend who was reading it to me one night finished it by himself when I fell asleep - he had to know how it ended!Maybe the people who have poo-pooed the book dont like fashion - or maybe themselves are intinmidated by it - but as a "fashionable NYC gal and accessories designer" I found the book a hoot!

Summary: whiney, badly written memoir
Review: I know this book proclaims NOT to be about Anna Wintour, but the descriptions of life at Conde Nast are dead on. Although the book is mildly entertaining in that aspect, it is a boring and self-indulgent rant.
Rating: 
Summary: not brilliant, but entertaining
Review: I did enjoy this book, simply because I happened to be jetlagged when I read it and my brain could not concentrate on anything. The story could be improved, as could the writing, but apart from that it is entertaining for those moments when you feel completely brainless.

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny
Review: I loved this book. It made me laugh out loud numerous times and was extremely entertaining. I couldn't put it down because I could not wait to see what Miranda would do next. It's even funnier for those of us who have done time for people like her - yes, for all of you with doubts, they do exist!! The characters are very well-developed and the plot moves along quickly and smoothly. I have read some of the other reviews and think they're unnecessarily harsh with regard to the writing style. No it's not Shakespeare, but I don't think it was intended to be and it is written well. You will like the book if you are a fan of the Bridget Jones and Shopaholic type books. I'm eagerly awaiting another book by this author.

Summary: Funny, but does she have a death wish??
Review: Loved it for the references to glamour and put-upon fashion, but is Lauren so confident that Anna won't squelch her pen in the future? She'd better be careful because Anna didn't get where she is by being a pussycat. However, loved Lauren's telling of Anna's psychoses! Would totally recommend to fellow fashionistas!

Summary: C'mon...Lighten-up!
Review: Ok, so you've read all the negative reviews. I can't tell you that they're all wrong and this is a masterpiece...but it's not nearly as horrible as it's being made to seem. It is what it is, a fluffy summer read. Fun to think some of the gossip is true. Not edited very well. About as good/bad as the other "chick lit" out there! By the way, I am a journalist and writer and I cannot find the overwhelming spelling or grammatical errors almost every reviewer mentioned. (???)

Summary: NEEDS EDITING
Review: Okay, I admit that I have been a sucker for the recent Bridget Jones-esk books of twenty/thirtysomethings trying to make it in the big bad world but "the devil wears prada" was terrible. Andrea was an unsympthetic character with no charm. The book was plotless and Weisberger should have stuck to writing a memior about her life as a fashion editor assistant rather than writing an embarressing novel that will ensure that no one ever reads one of her books again. Lastly, who edited this book? There were so many poorly written sentences and grammer mistakes.

Summary: BORING
Review: I found "the Devil wears Prada" to be a bit boring. I admit that I am a sucker for the recent glut of twenty/thirty-something tales of making it on the world but the plot was nonexistant. I kept waiting for something REALLY aweful to happen and Andrea would save the day and finally get her job at the New Yorker but no...nothing. This book feels more like the author complaining about her days as an assistant to the Vogue editor than a novel. Weisberger tries to add some other characters such as Andrea's pregnant sister but it fails miserbly to take the reader anywhere. Weisberger should have just stuck to writing a memior about her days as a fashion editor's assistant. Also, I think that this book was poorly edited. I found a few grammer mistakes and many sentences that felt out of place--as if they were supposed to be edited out but got forgotten. Leave this book on the shelf where you found it.

Summary: It's no classic, but still fun
Review: Entertaining to jump on this roller coaster with main character Andrea, but her non-stop bitching and lack of a backbone makes it hard to empathize too much with her character. Predicted the ending from a mile away, which was a major letdown. Thought the characters of Lily as drunken hippie, Christian as smug writer, and Alex and do-gooder were too shallowly portrayed. Fun while it lasted, but feeling empty after the experience. Kind of like reading Cosmo these days.
