Summary: Entertaining fluffy read
Review: I am late reading The Devil Wear's Prada, however I picked it up a month ago and I found it to be a cute fluff book. Chic lit is definately an appropriate title. This book should not be taken seriously or compared to "real literature". It's a mindless quick read and break from the real world. I recommend it as a summer or metro read. I live in DC so it's a way to pass the time while riding the Red Line. I became very frustrated with the protagonist for several chapters. However,I learned some people are really THAT docile!

Summary: Mediocre attempt on an overpublished topic
Review: Writing about living and working in the insane world of New York City has been done so often, and so badly, in recent years, that the bar must be raised. If you really want to read about the whack-jobs that live in NYC, read "American Psycho" or "Less than Zero." They're more satirical and true to their roots than this immature recount of a tired topic. That said, I think Weisberger has a lot of potential, and look forward to reading her work after she becomes a little more developed as a writer.Manini

Summary: Devil Wears Prada, even the title seems dated
Review: Ms. Weisberger has written a fantastic read assailing her former boss, Anna Wintour of Vogue, sometimes known as Nuclear Wintour. Or did she? The HarperCollins lawyers obviously take this as a work of fiction but no one else would. Why else call Wintour by name for no reason near the end of the book except to prove the point badly that she isn't Miranda? but is Nigel Andre Leon Talley? Again, who else could it be? Thanks for letting us in Vogue and conde Nast, even if you do call them Runway and Elias-Clark. No one else throws away money like that for nothing.

Summary: Highly Entertaining; An Easy Read
Review: I found this book to be highly entertaining. Some parts were very funny, although I'm not so sure that was the author's intention. If you are a secretary, you will definitely relate to this book (or appreciate your own boss more). If I had one criticism about it, it would be that it goes on way too long before the satisfying ending. The Nanny Diaries was similar to this book, but much better written. I recommend both of them.

Summary: Not For Me
Review: "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA" seems to be a love it or leave it book. Turned out to be not my cup of tea. I only got through about 1/3 before I cut my losses and donated it to the library book sale. A better choice would be "TRADING UP."

Summary: Too cute
Review: I do not recommend this novel, although it is interesting to skim the name-dropping about real people; the details about those real people are probably accurate, as they would not be protected by violation of privacy. Nonetheless, the novel seems mean-spirited. While the "Devil," allegedly based in part on the author's former real-life boss Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue, is a fascinating creature of arrogance and greed--and meaner than hell, maybe similarly to how some have described other "famous women" in real life--there isn't any depth to the novel. According to an interview with the author that I read on-line, Ms. Weisberger knows "this isn't War and Peace," and has been surprised at all the "buzz" and about being called the new "it" writer. I don't think so. Cleverness and cuteness don't make for strong writing, no matter how many names one is able to drop.

Summary: Miranda makes my boss seem like an angle
Review: Maybe I purchased this book for the title, but most likely i purchased it because what the story was about. maybe there was someone out there who could sempathise with how horrible my boss was. Well Huray for my boss! I completely enjoyed reading this story although at times it seemed predictable, I was completely involved with the characters, and could not wait too see what would happen next. The Story is simple, but has many messages that all of us face. how far do you go to become successful later in life, and what do you sacrafice?

Summary: A book as weak and thin as a fashion model...
Review: I read this book as required reading for a book club that I had been asked to join. The book club never got off the ground because none of the members could get through the story except for myself, and I moaned about how bad it was until I finished it. The characters and plot were weak, and once I learned how the author came about her information on the fashion and publishing industry, I was sorry I had spent the money on her book. If she had any respect for herself, she would have quit a demoralizing job once the insults began instead of sticking with it and then making a quick buck by trying to humiliate her ex-employer. Catchy title though, gotta admit that.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: Ever had a job offer that simply seemed to good to be true? Ever had a boss that could be the devil...the devil with a sense of fashion? In The Devil Wears Prada the main character gets that too good to be true job...only to find out that her boss is mean enough to be the devil. It is a book that explores how far you would go for the perfect job, and the perfect recommendation for future jobs. It is funny, cynical, and full of fashion sense.
