Title: The Devil Wears Prada Review
Review: "The Devil Wears Prada" was better than I expected it to be. To me, it's not supposed to be a book that makes you think. It's not an intellectual novel. It's an easy, fun, quick beach read. Put simply: A book you can read in a day. Weisberger is not an excellent, sophisticated writer, but she's good enough to create a story that's both funny and interesting. I will say this, I wasn't bored. I agree that it is similar to "The Nanny Diaries," however; they were two very different books (different subjects), but yes, they border on being alike in that they both have insane, over-the-top bosses. My two cents: If you've got time, (or if you're going to the beach), buy it and read it, but if you don't, I wouldn't recommend it. Weisberger is no Carol Goodman ("The Lake of Dead Languages" -a MUST read) or Donna Tart ("The Secret History" - another excellent book). She could have published a better novel, after all, she DID graduate from Cornell. Tsk, tsk.
