Book Reviews of The Devil Wears Prada: A Novel

Book Review: "An-dre-ah" is definitely NOT from the south....
Summary: 1 Stars

I can't imagine any southern belle worth her baton and tiara reading more than 50 pages of this book. I finished only because I was supposed to review it, but egads and little fishes, it is bad.

No southern belle would put up with 11 minutes, much less 11 months of not being able to (1) leave her desk (2) speak unless spoken to or (3) eat lunch ... just so she could be at the beck and call of her self-important, puffed up, manaical boss, even if HERself was the 'most important woman in fashion.'

The author completely lost me when Andrea had to go get more coffee because what she had broken her neck to bring to the office was cold and when her boss screamed at her to hurry it up with her $92 lunch, only to order her to toss it because she had already eaten with someone else. Having a pilot fly across the Atlantic just so the boss' twin daughters could each have their own Harry Potter books three days before the release date was a bit over the top.

The final scene (no spoiler here, because you KNOW the girl has GOT to develop a backbone at SOME point before the tale is over) is no big whoop, either. A southern belle woulda caused such a fuss...it woulda been the talk of the town for years to come when "the boss" finally got what was coming to her.

I guess that's why America's fashion elite gather in the Big Apple and not Atlanta. We wouldn't stand for such nonsense down here.

If like is really like this in the fashion industry, there's something seriously wrong....seriously.
