I personally did not enjoy this book very much. The basic story line is a young lady just out of college, Andrea, trying to meet the demands of life as a personal assistant to one of the top magazine editors in NY, Miranda Priestly. Andrea is forced to do ridiculous things like fetch 4-5 breakfasts a morning so that a hot one is there when Miranda arrive, arrange to have not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter books sent to Miranda's children in Paris, and make a restaurant reservation based on 'I saw it in the paper last week'. There were some funny moments in the book. Mostly, this book just made me feel annoyed. If Miranda, were real person I would probably shove the book down her throat and tell her to act like a human being. If Andrea were a real person, I would hit her over the head with the book and tell her to stand up for herself. Some of the bantering between Miranda and Andrea is funny but not 360 pages funny. It looses it's charm in about a 100 pages or so. I pray to God that people do not actually act like the Miranda Priestly character and if I do I hope I never work for them, I would be fired on the first day.
