Title: The Devil Made Me Do It
Review: I'll admit it - I read this book for the hype. They're making a movie, the title's catchy, it's a best-seller, blah, blah, blah. By the third page, any reader can see where the story is headed. The main character whines and complains her way around New York; all but abandoning those who love, support and need her the most for the sake of her first job out of school. A job, as we're reminded incessantly, "any girl would die for." The ending is no surprise - but so long overdue, to say it was anticlimactic is an understatement. Please don't get me started on the author's writing style and tone... My friends and I wrote better notes in high school.Here's a newsflash: most jobs suck. In fact, most jobs suck, aren't in NYC and don't lend expensive designer clothes to their employees. This is one case where I'll bet the movie is better than the book. It really is the only hope for redeeming this drivel, I mean novel.
