Summary: Not intellectual, but funny and hits the spot
Review: This book is not meant to be an intellectual read. It is also definitely not lighthearted, especially if one can identify with any of the characters! Anyone who has ever had a horrid boss or work situation, or knows someone who has, will identify with the characters in the book. The fact that all of this happens in the fashion world helps make the book more fun to read, for people who like fashion.I have read that the book is based on the author's experience with Vogue's editor-in-chief. That would make sense, because this book reads like the tale of an abused employee. Some of this stuff is so out there that it's almost impossible to make up! You will like this book if you enjoy fashion, or if you have ever had an intolerable work situation (or someone close to you has).

Summary: Not what I hoped for!
Review: I read the Nanny Diaries and really liked it. Not the best book ever but fun reading. That is what I was hoping for with the Devil. I began the book not totally enthralled but hopeful because my sister and my mother both highly recomended it. I now am questioning their taste in books. I find Andrea to be an annoying and weak person. It seems that every time she takes a stand, someone is able to talk her out of it. Also, many of the other characters are very inconsistent. Emily, for example, to the reader is totally devout to Miranda and never really says abything too horrible. Then all of a sudden, in the middle of the book Emily goes off the handle because Miranda wanted her to confirm a hair and make-up apointment. I don't even want to get into how it seems that Lily walks all over Andrea, she just does! The chapters wander in and out of the present and the past which adds to the confusion. I found myself at times yelling at the characters in the book (not Miranda though) and I do not believe that was intended. I was a Creative Writing major in college and if I had EVER handed in something like this, I would have been laughed at. On a lighter note, Miranda does some entertaining things and I mostly enjoyed knowing that she was upsetting Andrea.

Summary: A great fun read!
Review: This book was very entertaining and very addictive - I finished it in less than 48 hours on my vacation! Of course it's not life changing literature but it's a very fun read and I highly recommend it, especially if you love fashion and gossip. Don't give up if you get frustrated with Andrea's actions and her crazy boss, the ending makes it all worth it! This is a great light and fun read, ENJOY!

Summary: Dissapointing
Review: Let's be honest here. I, like many others, bought this book because of the title. Unfortunately, the title was the funniest part of the book. This book has been described as "light", but there is a difference between "light" and "pointless". I read the first half on a plane, and because it takes absolutely no intellect to read this book, it was a very nice plane book. The only bad part was having to finish it once you got home. I think the characters are well imagined, especially Miranda, but Andrea gets annoying after ahwile, Lily a little boring, and Alex a little unreal.I think this writer has talent but just a little trouble with plot and smoothness. Half the time you are confused at what she's talking about until you get to the third page of the chapter, THEN it makes sense. Unfortunately, the only reason you think about the things that happen in this book is not because they touched you, or sparked an interest, but only because you're trying to understand what just happened. This is a major chick book, so I give it that, and it isn't meant to be a thought-provoking book either. But please, give us something! I gave it two stars and not one because the author does give an accurate account of midtown New York and because the fashion aspect is funny too. But, just not funny enough to live up to the title.

Summary: A disaster
Review: I saw a television show that raved about this book alongside the Dirty Girls Social Club. Shame on them and shame on me for paying more than a dollar for this over-hyped book. "Andrea" has so much contempt for her horrible mean boss, but the majority of the book she herself is criticizing and belittling everyone around her. I pray for the world's sake that the screenplay for the movie is more interesting than the book. It was 4 days of my life I'll never get back. By the 150th page you don't want to read anymore, but its like a train wreck and you just have to see it through. I am willing to send my copy free of charge to anyone who wants it. Just seeing it on my dresser gives me a headache.

Summary: Waste of time
Review: This book is not even worth the time it took to read the cover with. There is no point to it and nothing of interest to it either. It is not light, funny, emotional or even "dishy"(whatever that is). The book is boring! BORING!

Summary: A light read
Review: It's a quick, light read. I have also known a boss similar to Miranda, thankGod I wasn't her assistant though! There are some funny parts & the occasional one-liner, but all in all, it wears a little thin. The main character is incredibly naive for most of the book & we're expected to believe she suddenly smarts up in the rushed ending. One would think that she'd develop a survival instinct over the course of the book. The characters are a little 2-dimensional and the main character doesn't develop over the course of the book (except at the very, very end). It's a great book to read on the plane, I certainly wouldn't pay the full hardcover price for it.

Summary: Just a good, fun read!
Review: This book is perfect for a lighthearted, fun, summertime read! Just when you think Miranda's demands can't possibly get any more ridiculous or absurd, they do. Adrea's nicknames for the different characters she encounters kept me chuckling through the whole book. I agree with the other reviewer who said this book is not meant to be an intellectual read and those who read it for that purpose will be disappointed. Its just meant to be fun.

Summary: READ ABOUT THE THEME. EXPECTING A TOLSTOY CLASSIC, ARE U?
Review: I was almost swayed by the countless snivelling reviews that this book seems to have generated. Perhaps because it is a thinly veiled account of the author's actual (bitter, needless to say) experiences at Vogue magazine. I am not sure I agree. It is quite an alright novel really, it makes no claim to be anything but pulp "fiction" and does a decent job of it. The title is misleading, perhaps a direct jab at the author's former boss? The story veers around a fashion magazine, things happen, women bicker, a galore of betrayals, bitterness and a lot of shallow vengeance. What's new? This is "chick-lit" and quite akin to what a million men and women read in pop mags like Vogue, Cosmo, Maxim, GQ etc everyday. It's a fast and mildly-fun read for days at home when television is dry, or in the train if you commute, at least the title will turn a few heads for sure. Expect collegiate humor and you should do fine.

Summary: ~ My Book Club Pick ~
Review: I saw that this book did not get good reviews, I thought is was a fun read, if It wasn't for my book club pick this book, I don't think I would have taken a second glance, I am so glad I read this book. Andera works for Miranda, she is the boss from hell! I don't think I could have put up with Miranda on how the way she treats Andrea. Andrea wants to be expected and appreciated for the work that she does and Miranda does not appreciated her at all. While I was reading this book Andrea made me laugh a lot on the things she would say and do.
