Book #12 "The Devil Wears Prada" by Lauren Weisberger: "It was two in the afternoon of my first day in Paris, and I wanted to die. Only death was not an option" (Page 312).
The story follows Andrea Sachs as she starts the all important hunt for the first out of college job. What she really wants is to be a writer for the New Yorker but without an in she doesn't really see that being much of a possibility until she learns about the jr. assistant job at Runway magazine to the editor of the magazine herself, Miranda. It just so happens that after a year of working with Miranda you can practically get a job anywhere you want. Just no one seemed to remember to warn poor Andrea that her boss was seriously turns out to be one of the hardest people anyone could ever even dream of working for. But could it all be worth it so that at the end of a year you can get basically any job you could ever want?
As I mentioned in my last post this is my second time reading this I thought I was going to enjoy it as much the second time around and I got to be honest with you I don't know if it was because I knew everything that was coming or just because I am starting to get sick of the same old same old style of books I tend to pick up and read? Who knows?
But if you have never read it before I would say it's a good read for the first time around but as I kind of hinted to above I wouldn't really read it over and over and over again.
This is also one of the rare times when I can actually say that the movie is 100% better then book, I mean sure the book is good but I just love the movie, I don't know if it is the actors they got or what but I just love it. It's so good.
Next book up for number #13 is "Happy Ever After by Adele Geras. It is suppose to be a modern day mash up of 3 different fairy tales all wrapped up into one. Should be interesting to give a try, hopefully :P
That's all for now,

P.S. sorry I don't have a whole lot to say about this one like I said I just wasn't super thrilled with it as a re-read... :/
