Decent book, but seems long sometimes (could be from listening to it on the iPod).
Le fameux roman sur une Anna Wintour pseudo-fictive, qui a a été adapté en film ayant fait un tabac au box-office.
The movie was soooo much better than the book. To be fair, the book and movie are 2 completely different stories. Andy in the movie has more heart, although Alex is less likeable. Unbelievable but the book does not resonate as well as the movie. The book seems disjointed and the characters unpolished. Read if you're curious, otherwise hard pass.
I enjoyed the humor throughout. Weisberger is certainly talented at telling a story. I care nothing for fashion or social drama and still found it to be a page-turner that I couldn't put down. For me it worked better as a film only because I lack the fashion knowledge to visualize most of the clothing talked about in the book. It's not my typical read, or I believe it would probably rate higher. Simply not the subject matter for me.
Weisberger was born in 1977;
I could be her mother and not
even be a teen mom. More and
more, I feel an age gap with
this new generation...the main
character whines about having
to work and hates everything....
she finally triumphs by telling
the devil boss to buzz off (but, of course, she is more bold), in
essence, treating the boss the
same way as the boss has been
treating her. I just couldn't
sympathize and I just couldn't
find her writing funny....
