Melisande

This was an amusing read but way overly reminiscent of "The Nanny Diaries". Both books are sad in their probably accurate portrayal of the disdainful super-rich.

The Devil Wears Prada is great -- the age-old I-hate-my-tyrranical-boss plot, with a fresh new twist -- that boss is the supreme queen of the fashion world. It grapples with the usual questions of whether success is measured in happiness or in worldly achievement, and determining when intervention is really necessary in the lives of your friends, while touching on the lighter side of body image and true beauty. Now I have to tell you that it is purely a fun read -- nothing too deep or thought-provoking, and perhaps a little lacking in character development (arguably intentional). However, for take-your-mind-off-of-the-world-around-you entertainment, it's much better than grocery-store smut novels. The Devil Wears Prada is the tortilla chip of the snack world -- sure, it doesn't really have any nutritional value, but it tastes good, and it's better for you than potato chips or McDonald's fries! ;)
