Advantages: Great book, characters work well, good price from Amazon.

Disadvantages: None

This novel follows Andrea Sachs while she attempts to work for a year as a junior assistant to a fashion magazine editor, Miranda Priestley. The book follows the ups & downs, mainly downs, of working for such a demanding career focused woman such as Miranda who has no idea of how long it takes to get things done such as demanding her steak lunch be delivered in 15 minutes or Starbucks coffee the very second she arrives in to the office.

Andrea is basically treated like a slave for most of the time that she works for Miranda and she does feel that the job is way beneath her most of the time and this does show towards the end of the book in the way she treats her job. Miranda does take note of this but will she help Andrea get the foot up on the career ladder and get a job at The New Yorker or a similar publication, only time will tell.

This book is very well written and I was not disappointed in the slightest with a single second of reading it. Some aspects of this novel had that edge to it that made me not want to put it down. I polished the book off in just two nights of reading and it does have a fair amount of pages to keep most people occupied for a good few hours of reading.

This book is currently available in paperback from Amazon.co.uk for £5.00 with free super saver delivery and I would highly recommend it as it is another fantastic feel good book that you won't want to put down. I love this book and it's one that will be staying in my collection instead of heading down to the charity shop. I have actually read it a couple of times now and think that it transfer fabulously in to the film.

Lauren Weisberger has a fantastic writing style that just flows so well throughout the pages and I think that the characters in this book are fantastic and they work very well with one another throughout the book. I am rating this book 4/5 and would highly recommend it.

Summary: A fantastic book that works well & makes me not want to put it down!
