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.

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.

Summary: It's gotta be the shoes
Review: An easy predictable pleasurable read, I loved the portrayal of the many fashion editors balanced with the main characters parents. I would love to have seen both at the launch party for "Devil wears Prada." Not a book I am proud to have read, but certainly one I enjoyed. Michael Duranko, Bootism: a shoe religion

Summary: Will do??
Review: Maybe it's a little thing, but I found it irritating and implausible that Andrea and her friends use the phrase "will do" in response to the snooty orders they issue each other. These are supposed to be struggling 20somethings and they come off as arrogant and unlikable. The Nanny Diaries is basically the same story but is much, much better written.

Summary: Devil in what?
Review: This book not only failed to satisfy my carnivorous hunger for guilty pleasure reading but it strected on longer than needed. How many chapters can one read about describing the silly hoops a boss will take you thur? I never felt a strong connection to the main character and never felt any empathy whatsoever. I waited a long time to read this book and wish I would have waited longer.

Summary: Too familiar
Review: Having worked for a woman very similar to that described in the book, albeit in Interior Design, I felt great sympathy for the main character, Andrea. There are some truly revolting people out there, and frankly you are better off getting out early on -I only spent 6 weeks there, as opposed to the year the main character put in - and this book was giving me horrible flashbacks.
Apart from the similarities to my experience (which meant that in a lot of ways I didn't really enjoy the book as it brought back a lot of bad memories), I found the book shallow and fairly glib - there was no soul searching at any point except the end, and then that was fairly over dramatic. In addition, the novel was quite poorly written - ungrammatical and mostly consisting of "conversations" rather than descriptions. Reads like a screenplay.

Summary: fun fun fun!
Review: This is not a book that uses all your brain cells to understand what's going on. That said, this is pure reading cotton candy, fluffy and sweet to the brain tastebuds. It is a book that you can pick up and just tear through in a couple of days. Poor Alex, you want to just scream at her "QUIT ALREADY!" You may not learn from it, but you certainly will be entertained by it. So, if you're in the mood, this book is for you.

Review: This book does what it promises-entertains! It's a witty, light, delightful romp.
