This book is horribly boring. I had planned on reading the book before seeing the movie, but I don't plan on doing that any longer. The main character is annoying, the work scenario is ridiculous, and you find yourself wondering how anyone with a decent IQ level could bother working for someone so uppity. Then you realize that it would never happen in real life and put the book down in disgust. The author, in a meager attempt to impress upon the readers just how upscale the boss is, goes on and on (and on and on) with lists of various designers and so on. You could easily skip nearly a whole page now and again because of it.

In short, not worth the read unless you're marooned on a desert island and have nothing else to do. Even then, I'm not sure I'd bother.
