I bought The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger from the library spring book sale. I thought it would be a fun, quick read to get back ahead on my reading goal. I have never seen the movie, but I have heard a lot of people tell me it's a good movie.
Let me just start by saying that I did really not care for this book. The writing itself wasn't bad and the story line was okay, but I just hated the characters. The "devil" Miranda Priestly is a very demanding and ungrateful boss. I understand that this was her role in a big company. The employee Andrea "Andy" Sachs was a young girl looking for a career in journalism. She decided to take the risk of working in fashion with a demanding boss. I just couldn't stand Andy. She kept telling herself she needed this job, but it was obviously ruining her life. She wanted to tell Miranda off so many times, but never did. And in the mean time she ruined all her other relationships. In the end, she does tell Miranda off, but in my opinion it was way too late. Why not do it earlier and tell Miranda why people don't want to work for her.
Just not my favorite book. I don't really know if I would ever want to watch the movie based off of my view of the book.
