Really funny! My daughter and husband saw the movie and said the book (as read on the CD) is even more outrageous! I was nervous that the ending would be a complete cop-out but the author did a great job with that too.
I don't understand how anyone can possibly find this book interesting. Wasted my time chewing through this pile of paper trash waiting for something, anything, to happen.
A book that ostensibly seems to be about fashion, and on a slightly deeper level about the careers of the privileged, hardly seems like something that would bump to the top of my reading list. But after waiting on a pretty long list with the library for access to a digital download of the audiobook, I got it, and couldn't stop listening to it.
It's a pretty tight memoir that keeps the story going at a great pace and lets the story flow. I've increasingly become a fan of memoirs. While officially fiction, it's pretty much accepted that this is the story of working for the editor of Vogue. The indignation and petulant quiet treatment of the book from Vogue and associated publications, and comments from people in the industry all but confirm it.
Stories of the ridiculous trials of life and work in NYC is always fun for me and makes me want to collect all of my own crazy experiences there. This book has plenty of them, and they're all very believable, having lived there.
This was the author's first book, which is really impressive, and the end of the book, where she talks about short stories she wrote, which have different characters and setting, but the same strong themes described in the book are a great lesson for writers of what the axiom "write what you know" really means. You don't need to have been a 19th century cowboy or a 20th century monk in Tibet to be able to write about those characters - it's the experiences of the human condition that can translate to nearly anyone that you need to know and understand.
Some good life lessons in this book. There's a lot of intensity and mature themes in the story that would make me avoid recommending it for teens or certainly kids.

One of those times where I enjoyed the movie more than the book. A fun, light-hearted read but one of those time that I felt it could have been wrapped up pages before it actually ended. I loved the character of Miranda, however...what an awesome business woman! I never said nice...
I can't help it. I wanted to like this book, just like I wanted to like The Nanny Diaries. But in both cases, I just got fed up with the main characters far too early on to enjoy the stories. Sometime it'd be nice to read a book where the main character actually said what she thought, and stood up and quit instead of taking ages and tons of craziness to do so!
This book was so much better then the movie....though I did like the movie. The main character really did suffer under her employer and everyone else for that matter. Poor Girl, great read.
funny
medium-paced
Boring and clunky. One of the few books where the movie was better.
