Title: Not that big a deal, folks
Review: The hype--good and bad--around DWP goes far, far beyond its literary merits (which are minimal--this is entertainment, not literature). I really don't care whether Lauren Weisberger was fair to Anna Wintour or not, or whether she sold out her old boss, I just care about whether the book will keep me entertained for a few hours, and it did. The book is moderately entertaining and very gossipy, although some of the plot devices were awkwardly handled (such as her saintly boyfriend and the hot writer she's attracted to).I liked it better than the Nanny Diaries, which I found somewhat disturbing--these characters are pretty cartoonish, and anyone who vividly remembers how much their first job sucks may sympathize with Andrea.Btw, I read that the book has been opted for a movie...who would play Miranda Priestly?
Is the review positive or negative?
