Summary: Stupid Tripe! With a great title.
Review: The only words of any literary merit to this shallow piece of absolute crap are in the title, it hooked me into buying it. The depth of this storyline (contact lens) sets ALL woman back years. The classic tale of the mean witch boss abusing the poor wittle, filled with dreams,overworked personal assistant. Where (boo-hoo) she (the personal assistant to the witch) gets to wear high-end designer fashions(supplied by the company) & travel (wah!) .At her most gracious, the poor overworked personal assistant was buying Cappuccino's for the homeless- on the company dime- instead of just getting coffe for her boss. She sure showed her mean ol'boss & helped the homeless, too. The author is a painfully shallow,self centered brat, in what is a thinly veiled autobiography. The ending shows our heroine at a fabulous party, dancing the night away & making out with a famous author in Paris .Her wretched boss asks her personal assistant about a personal matter (how dare she!). Our Cinderella aquires the spunk to talk back to her the boss (in the most anti-climatic, UN-you go girl tell-off of all time) and leaves her "really hard" job.The downtrodden, shining pillar, of all that is good returns to New York, sells her haute couture gear the company supplied to her, for this trip to Paris (instead of returning it), for extra dough - enough to live on for a year. Now, she can focus on writing this thought provoking (Bleh. Gag. Vomit.) masterpiece. Stay away- run, do not walk away from this vile book -which by the way has made this poor wittle overworked girl with the really icky boss a millionaire. I am enraged/disgusted that I read this; I want those 2 hours of my life back.

Summary: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
Review: Catchy title--but if you're looking for something more, keep looking. Andrea is the main character--a twentysomething single who is fresh out of college. Her passion is writing and her goal in life is to work for the New Yorker. But the New Yorker is not calling and Andrea needs a job. So she goes to work for Miranda Priestly, editor of Runway magazine, and apparently the high priestess of the fashion industry. After being assured by everyone at the magazine during her interview that "this is a job a million girls would die for," and that most of Miranda's assistants can work anywhere after being in her employ for a year, Andy accepts the position. What follows is 300+ pages of what is simply a litany of unreasonable and unbelievable requests by a boss that is most certainly some sort of devil incarnate. Andy's personal life, as a result of her demanding employer takes a beating--Alex, her longtime boyfriend, begins to feel neglected and Lily, her best friend, sinks to an all-time personal low. I might have liked this book--if there was something else to it, but it is truly all about Andy's unbelievably horrible boss. In terms of character development...well, I might have liked Alex, if I felt like I new something about him, or about he and Andy's relationship. Best friend Lily is nothing more than a promiscuous lush.....and you're left wondering about a character (Andy) who could call this girl her best friend. The most appalling thing about the book was its tales of excess and waste. Very sad in a world where many people do without. All in all, I was left shocked that this book was the runaway bestseller that it is/was.....!

Summary: A humorous Read!
Review: This is just the book that I needed after reading some dark, heavy novels. It made me laugh and I really enjoyed it. After reading the editorial reviews, I can't help but wonder how much of the book is taken from real life experiences. A boss can't be that demanding, right??? :)

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!
