Customer Reviews

ummm...
I could not get past the first 60 pages of the book. I guess i was expecting more than a bunch of air heads the author has attemepted to create. I have to admit i never read DWP but saw the movie and loved it. Maybe i was expecting too much out this book?

Not bad...
This is the first Lauren Weisberger book I've read, I've not read or seen the film of The Devil Wears Prada so can't compare them (some people might say that's a good thing). I didn't think it was bad, I definately wouldn't say it's 1 star, although I do think (as has already been mentioned) some of the outcomes were a bit predictable, but I liked the characters.

disappointing
Really enjoyed the Devil Wears Prada and bought this for a long journey. Felt it was trying to be like Sex and the City but I did not like these women and could not care what happened to them. Just an excuse for dropping a lot of brand names and showing off a wealthy lifestyle. Can an intelligent woman really have a noisy upstairs neighbour and not try to resolve the problem in some way? I only finished it because I had nothing else available to read.
