Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns

It was an okay story, I suppose. Not my usual fare, though. Andy Sachs, the unfortunate assistant whose story was told in The Devil Wears Prada, returns, a decade after the events of the first book. She's started a wedding magazine with her best friend, and it's become wildly successful. Then Elias-Clark, the publishing company headed by Miranda Priestly (the “Devil” from the title), makes an offer to buy the magazine and it goes downhill from there.

I really was not thrilled by this book. Miranda only makes a few appearances, and while her influence is felt through the entire book, it's more Andy's fear of her that permeates the book rather than Miranda's own driven personality. I wanted to see more of the Devil herself!

Reading other reviews on Amazon, I'm not alone, and apparently the first book was FAR better. Which is good to know, I suppose, but I still probably won't bother to read it. I might watch the movie - I remember the previews were hysterical - but I won't waste the time on the book. That's also my recommendation for this sequel. Don't waste your time.
