Much better than the movie plotwise

I haven;t seen the movie, but i fell in love with the book. I still have not grasped why.

It is currently my commuter book. I am on chapter 9. I like both the movie and the book. Book is better plot wise...but come on Meryl. That is all I am gonna say.

It doesn't sound that interesting but hten it just captures you.

Great book.
Great movie, although, I don't agree with the changes. I like her boyfriend (Can't remember his name now) as a teacher, not a line cook.

i prefer the accident that happens to the first assistant in the film over the book.. however, the 'climax' of the book is more dramatic...

Yeah, I wanted to see Meryl's face, as Anne's bitching her out, but guess not.

And the Harry Potter manuscript wouldn't be that thin. Unless it was printed on both sides, and I doubt that happened.

Her second book, Everyone Worth Knowing, is good too.


Everyone Worth Knowing (Paperback)

I love both books! They're juicy without being trashy.

Not that I should be criticizing anyone, but I found The Devil Wears Prada to be a very weak debut novel. Let's hope she gets better with age.

I read the book, and having had a couple of bosses like that, I had heart palpitations and nausea.

There was no way you could get me to watch it played out onscreen.

I absolutely loathed the book. Lauren Weissberger should sign up for some Fiction 101 classes at Gotham Writers Workshop.

Loved the movie, though.

The movie is a lot different from the book.
And Meryl Streep is (to quote you) FAB.U.LOUS.
You missed a great performance by her, and Anne too, but Tracie Thoms was vastly miscast and underused. The entire Lily character could've been cut and no one would've known.

I've seen the performances in real life. Really, I'll survive much better without the experience.

Luckily I've never had that experience.

I haven't seen the movie yet because I wanted to read the book first. Only 3 more books on my list until I get to it. I've heard mostly nothing but good reviews of it.
