OK, I didn't like this book, mostly because it felt very repetitious, like a giant rant about what the main character's boss was making her do. But heres the thing: I must be crazy because her job didn't sound that bad to me! All she had to do was run around the city for her boss, she didn't have to do anything that really required a lot of brainpower, she got to meet interesting people and be exposed to the magazine business, and she signed up for it. So.. I felt no sympathy at all and found her whiney and annoying. She only had ONE person who she really had to answer to, and the amount of responsibility in her job was negligible. If this was a book about a really hard job with REAL stress maybe I could buy it. But no. I'm still going to give this author another try, I'm reading "Everyone Worth Knowing" right now, and I like it better.

If not for the title that peaks your interest, or for the humor and undeniably great insight on what it would be like to work for a debutante of the fashion world, this book held my interest from beginning to end. If you are looking for a deep literary read, this is definitely not for you. This is a light, funny read that I, quite frankly, could not put down. Having no knowledge of fashion, designers, or New York City for that matter, I felt like I had an education on the fast paced, cut throat and very competitive industry that most girls can only dream about participating in. I thought Weisberger showed immense talent in poking fun at this glamorous way of life and I thouroughly enjoyed it.

This book was funny, a light, entertaining book about the boss from hell. I found all of the details about fashion a bit ridiculous. I will never be able to comprehend how fashion can be taken so seriously. Who throws out very expensive clothes every six-months, just because they are six-months old? I saw the movie, hilarious! Meryl Streep played the part of Miranda Priestly wonderfully, although she was much nicer than the Miranda Priestly in the book, and nowhere near as devilish. She didn't fit the book's physical description of Miranda Priestly, but she looked fabulous! I love her! The movie was totally different from the book in many ways, which didn't really bother me, but I much preferred the book's ending, where Andy finally says to her boss what many people only dream of saying to their bosses. To say more would spoil it. That's all!

Horrible book. Why celebrate how a sad woman poorly treats others? I don't get it.

Couldn't get thru this. OK, so your boss is a wicked witch. I get that. But give me something else. I don't understand what all the fuss was about!

Infrequently, a book is not as good as the film and such is the case here.

I enjoyed this book immensely. I am not a big "novel" fan but this held my attention and even made me smile at times.

This is an interesting novel with good parts and some really good parts, but in all it is not something that I was overly excited to read through. Much of the text is based in a mindset that is not something I can relate to, but I have always been out of touch with the pulse of the fashion world or the hyperactive world of New York City. Good read if you have extra time.

I've read this book a couple of times now and it is SO much better than the bubble-gum tween movie version of the story. The film just made the story too cotton-candy cute, not to mention the awful job of casting that was done or the crap job they did in the re-write for the script.

I find the book well-written and not the typical bit of chick-lit fluff where adult characters are lacking serious problems like alcohol-dependency, work stress and/or a potty mouth. The characters in this book may have jobs we can't relate to, but they have problems in their lives that we can be empathetic towards. The author does a great job of making them believable by using real-life language instead of toning it down just so she can sell to a younger genre that the sugary-sweet substitute of a movie pandered to.

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a fun book any worker can relate to, even if your boss isn't quite as hellish as the editor-in-chief character, Miranda Priestly. The central character, a young journalist forced into an assistant position at a high-profile fashion magazine, is relatable and you'll find yourself rooting for her all through the book. However, you can tell this is the writer's first published material, and that's not a good thing. Also, this is definitely not literary in any way, so if you're truly looking for something mindless that you can enjoy and then forget about later, read this. Surprisingly, the movie version with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep is miles better than its source material - if you're interested in the story and don't want to read it, pick up the movie and enjoy it! I liked it better.

I couldn't get into this one - I probably read about half of it then saw the movie and never had any desire to finish it. More "grown-up" that many of the chick-lit books, which I don't really mean as a compliment as it was not any more fun to read.

I enjoyed this book because I wanted to laugh at how mean the main character of this story. I also don't like fasion so the fact it was poking fun at it appealed to me.

Very good reading.

I really liked this book. It's a funny, easy read. If you're looking for a laugh, give it a try!

This is the boss from hell!!!!

The booked dragged for me. I liked it but I expected more

Better than the movie. A great read for down time.

Very smart read!!!

I did not care for this book.

It's a good book to read on vacation or in a hot tub.

This was a good quick read about a girl who sold herself short but eventually came around. I liked the book overall, easy to read and identify with the narrator.
