The Devil Wears Prada
by Lauren Weisberger
Not very good. (12/25/2006)
300 + pages of someone making unreasonable demands on another person. Not much fun to read and a lot of it was not believable.

The descriptions of fashion were good I don't think the average reader cares much about or even knows the difference between a fendi bag and any other bag.

I don't understand how this book was a bestseller.
All Over But The Shoutin'
by Rick Bragg
Just terrible (8/10/2006)
This is the worst book I have read in quite some time. I finally just gave up about page 250.

He is a horribe hyprcite. He constantly talks about "yankees" and "whites" in a deragatory form.

Generalizations are never okay.
