Review for the Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger


*       This is my second time through the Devil Wears Prada . I liked it the first time around. It was also the first chick literature book I ever read. Who couldn't identify with Andy and her trials in pleasing her boss?

*       The story of the Devil Wears Prada chronicles Andrea Sachs life during her first job. The job is working for Miranda Priestly the Editor and Chief of Runway magazine. Miranda has two assistants Emily and her newest Emily. Andrea finds out that she is immediately over her head in this position but if she can just stick it out her dream job awaits. The first lesson that Andy learns is that she has a rather low fashion IQ. Emily and the other staff take great joy in pointing this out. While Andy feels like she is busy with the tasks that Miranda asks her to accomplish.  She is dying to complain about her job. She does it with the Runway Paranoid turnaround. You are wondering what a Runway Paranoid turnaround is? Well you just have to read the book in this case.

*       Andy also has friends and family to contend with as well. Her family lives in Connecticut and her sister flies in from time to time. She finds herself too busy to even have time for them. Then there is her boyfriend Alex and his career is already set. He is understanding of her career in the beginning but cannot understand Andy's priorities with her friends. Andy spends a lot of time with her best friend Lily. She is supportive of Andy but she does not pay attention because of her alcohol consumption.
 
  I really liked this book.  I loved the book the second time around!  Pick up this author and sit back for a good time.

Ratings:  5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
