Negative Positive
Title: All Buzz and No Book
Review: The only possible reason for reading this book is to see if Anna Wintour stand-in Miranda Priestly is the worst boss ever. She is. However, unlike The Nanny Diaries, this book is so poorly written that by page 300 or so, you couldn't care less is Miranda had her young assistant Andrea drawn and quartered. There are a collection of characters so poorly drawn, serving only to satisfy the author's whim at the moment, that any arc is rendered flat and you find yourself waiting for the next Miranda outrage, which, after the twentieth one, is no longer shocking. Is Emily a back stabbing co-worker or a comrade in arms? Will sweet boyfriend Alex dump job-obsessed Andrea? Does funky best friend Lily have a drinking problem? Will Andrea survive this job to make it to The New Yorker? Who cares? After reading this book, I promise you, you will not care. Watch the final season of Sex and the City and you'll get the same fashionista flush as you had hoped you'd get from this pitiful book.
