Summary: Fashionably Lame!
Review: I bought this book, simply, because the title caught my eye. A lover of fashion, but not a slave to it, it was quite interesting to get a glimpse into the world of high fashion and what really goes on behind the scenes. Overall, the book started out okay, but it went totally flat in the end.
In otherwords, I was looking for something really juicy and got nothing in return. No need to re-hash what all the majority reviewers, thought. If I had to say one thing, I'm in total agreement with the folks that caught all of the grammatical errors in the book. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.
Highly suspicious from a Cornell Grad!

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: Lauren Weisberger takes you on an unbelievable ride! My heart rate went up everytime I picked the book up and I couldn't wait to see what she had to do next. This book is great for anyone who has ever been an assistant for a difficult boss. I thought the writing was a bit choppy at first, but once I started reading I got into the style.

Summary: I want my nanny back!
Review: I was very excited to read this book. I even broke my own rule of book purchasing and bought it new and in hardcover. Whoa, was I disappointed! I expected a lot more Sex and the City and a lot less Nanny Diaries. It was virtually the same book--just different girls in different jobs. The main difference is that The Nanny Diaries is better written.Like many of the other reviewers, the main character didn't move me at all. I wasn't sympathetic to her plight, and her reason for staying in this job just wasn't all that realistic. Many of the other characters had potential, but they just weren't all that developed. I would have liked to have seen more of the "twins" and of Emily. I would have liked to know more about Alex; however, we are only given one tyrannical phone call after another. Check this out from the library or borrow your friend's copy. But save your money for something different!

Summary: High Fashion Storytelling At It's best
Review: Lauren Weisberger wrote this book with amazing style! Simply one of those "can't put down" books. I read it in one weekend within a period of seven hours traveling from airport to airport on a weekend trip. With her razor-sharp bob, and dark sunglasses shielding her from photographers flashbulbs, the world's fashion icon, Anna Wintour, is revealed in this book. Excellent attention to detail as well! I loved how Lauren referred to the scents of "salon shampoo" and "expensive perfume." Thanks Lauren for a WONDERFUL read. I loved it! THE haute couture book of the year as far as I'm concerned.

Summary: Not as good as I thought it would be...
Review: OK - this book starts out with the girl not knowing how to drive a stick shift makes her sound whiny and spoiled. Throughout the book this attitude prevails. Women are portrayed as weak, all having eating disorders, and they can't dress.

Summary: A Let Down
Review: I was looking for something kinda fluffy and funny. Well, I found myself finding the protaganist whiny, unrealistic, whiny, self-righteous, whiny, self-centered, and did I mention whiny? A college grad with a high profile job has to do some scut-work - boo hoo. She's lived a life of privilege, and seems to suffer the typical compensating for feeling inadequete by sneering at the haute couture world. Yes, Miranda is unreasonable. So are lots of other talented prima-donnas in every profession. Yet again - Boo hoo. The resolution was drivel. The implication that our protaganist has found what truly matters, and that standing up for her principals has served her is trite and difficult to swallow. The ending reads rather pompous and self-congratulatory. Oh wait, I believe that would describe the tone of the entire novel. This one is going to my local used book store, because it sure isn't a keeper.

Summary: Light & fun read.
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. Of course, it is not classic litterature but it was fun nontheless. It made me miss NYC & the North East: it re creates the craziness & the fast pace of the city very well.

Summary: Wonderfully, fun book
Review: If you like the Shopaholic series, then you'll just love this book! After reading a few reviews, I wasn't sure that I still wanted to read it but I'm very happy that I did.
Andrea Sachs gets a job (a job that a million girls would kill for) working as Miranda Priestly's junior assistant. Miranda is the head honcho at Runway magazine and when she says jump, you don't even ask "how high", you just do it. Andrea soon realizes that her so called job isn't all what it's cracked up to be. She has to take care of Miranda's laundry, her meals, which by the way must be hot and placed in a specific way and so many more meaningless tasks. If you've ever had a boss that you absolutely hated, reading this book will probably make your boss seem like an angel. Strange thing though, I just don't ever recall Miranda wearing Prada as the title refers.

Summary: Great first 50 and last 50
Review: The title was the best part of this novel. Though very eager to read, i was not impressed with this book. The first 50 pages and last 50 were the only worth while pages of the entire book, and were only second rate compared with the title. If you want to read a book about a terrible boss read the Nanny Diaries, similar plot but a much better book.
Rating:
Summary: Entertaining!
Review: This book is not thought provoking literature but I dont see what everyone is complaining about. It is supposed to be FUN. It was very fun to read, a guilty pleasure. The title alone told you that this book was major chick lit and not supposed to be intellectual. What is everyone complaining about??? I am an educated person and the grammer did not bother me one bit. A very good read. Highly recommend it espcially if you like fashion.
