Negative Positive
Title: surprisingly not well written...
Review: how fast must this book have been pushed through editing? sweet fancy moses. there's an interesting story to be told here, but it's all told so woodenly that i can't imagine anyone getting very excited over it. i'm in publishing, so of course i was curious about the book; but it only takes about 3 hours to read. for this kind of "inside scoop," the nanny diaries was really much better.it didn't make sense that the heroine was supposed to be so "fashion clueless" and yet was able to name-drop (Bungalow 8, Nobu) right from the get-go. how did she get this job again? for pete's sake, even i know how to pronouce Givenchy, and i'm from Cleveland.the non-"Runway" stuff was so incidental to the story that i mostly skimmed over it. i think this book would be fine on the plane or the beach, but otherwise...not memorable.
Is the review positive or negative?
