content: This book was an excellent and enjoyable read. It flowed smoothly and was an unchallenging, pleasant and humourous read. I read it and then watched the movie. My advice would be to read the book and not bother with the novie; it has been seriously dumbed down for the sake of giving Meryl Streep more lines. The movie also loses much of the integrity displayed in the book which is quite thought-provoking on the subject of human behaviour in many areas, despite being light and airy in its approach. It does make you marvel at how materialistic and detached from reality some high-flying business persons really are. I felt happy to be ordinary when I had read it. Enjoy!
