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!
