Helpful Score: 1

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a fun book any worker can relate to, even if your boss isn't quite as hellish as the editor-in-chief character, Miranda Priestly. The central character, a young journalist forced into an assistant position at a high-profile fashion magazine, is relatable and you'll find yourself rooting for her all through the book. However, you can tell this is the writer's first published material, and that's not a good thing. Also, this is definitely not literary in any way, so if you're truly looking for something mindless that you can enjoy and then forget about later, read this. Surprisingly, the movie version with Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep is miles better than its source material - if you're interested in the story and don't want to read it, pick up the movie and enjoy it! I liked it better.
