Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns

I was so excited to get this book! I read other reviews before I got the book, and I was really upset... The book I waited so long for had gotten some terrible reviews :( Actually, it started out really slow - much had changed for Andrea, and it got a bit, well... Boring. But trust me, the Miranda we all love to hate comes back in full force, and BONUS!!!! We get to see a side of Miranda that we didn't see in the first book. Unlike "Return to the Big Fancy" (Freeman Hall's 2nd part of "Retail Hell"), this book doesn't place you right back into the same situation (not that I mind that, Freeman Hall rocks!) , this book takes place later in Andrea's life. I'm not going to give away anything about this book - the other reviews I read gave away some bits that I would have enjoyed discovering for myself, but I will say if you enjoyed "The Devil Wears Prada", you will enjoy catching up with Andrea (and Miranda). This book wasn't as good as the first, but I loved it! A perfect beach book - you can relax with this story and just go with it.

I loved The Devil Wears Prada, so I was disappointed to read that its sequel had gotten such mixed reviews. The mixed reviews obviously didn't stop me from reading the book, but I did go in with fairly low expectations. Imagine my surprise when I stayed up late reading the entire first quarter of the book the night I started it! I had read a serious book right before reading this, so I found Revenge refreshingly light and entertaining. It was an easy read following the serious book, which was exactly what I needed! Initially, a lot of Revenge is Andy rehashing memories of her time with Miranda and these snarky descriptions are what made the original Devil so good. This time around, the Miranda memories do feel a bit warmed over, but are probably necessary to set the stage. In Revenge, Andy and Emily end up on the receiving end of the charming version of Miranda (the version most celebrities saw in Devil). It was really interesting to see the juxtaposition of how she treats people she wants something from versus how she treats her underlings. You can feel her transform between personalities right before your eyes and then back again in seconds. I also enjoyed the secondary storyline of Andy's marriage to Max Harrison, the son of a Media scion, and found her stuck-up snob of a mother-in-law to be somewhat amusing character. Even though she was dislikable, she added some humorous ridiculousness to the story. Despite enjoying the book and flying through it, I hated the ending, and that seems to be the consensus among other reviewers. It couldn't have been more cliche and you could see it coming a mile away. Actually, there were a lot of cliche moments in this book and I rolled my eyes at some parts. But, I have to go on overall feeling while reading a book and I enjoyed this one for what it was...something light, easy, and not thought provoking. Sometimes you just need a book like that.

I didn't read the first book, but I did see the movie and really enjoyed it. I mean, it's girl porn - fashion, makeup, for what more could you ask? So, I was excited about reading the sequel and for the most part, I was entertained. However, it seems as though a lot of folks were disappointed. Here's the thing (and I wish Amazon would let me draw a table here so that I could do a side-by-side comparison): Andrea (in the movie) isn't that great of a character. Nope, she isn't someone that you can say, well, I would be friends with her if she was a real person. I mean, she easily puts her personal life on hold to become a slave to Miranda Priestly. She doesn't fight it at all - not even when the supposed love of her life begged her to do so. Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly STOLE that movie. And are we surprised? No, because she's Meryl Streep. Her Miranda Priestly was delightfully snobby. She made that woman human. You felt SORRY for her when her marriage crumbled. And because of that, the Andrea (in the movie) seemed less bullied and more whiny. So, that's where my mindset was when I started this book. Andrea (Andy) in this book...sucks just as much as she did in the movie of the first book. She's incredibly negative, assuming the worst in every situation. When something goes wrong, she stubbornly refuses to discuss it, instead of entertaining another viewpoint. She's downright mean to her husband. And though she is angry with her husband for a certain behavior, she does it herself. In short, she's really quite deplorable. There's nothing that makes you want to root for her. She refuses to accept responsibility for the role she played in the demise of several relationships. Because the actions of Andrea elicit strong emotions, I have to give props to Lauren Weisberger. Putting aside the serious shortcomings of this character, the book itself was somewhat entertaining. Emily is always an interesting character - no shrinking violet here! I was confused about the Nigel character being so awful here in the book - another role to which the actor (the fabulous Stanley Tucci) in the movie brought humanity. I would say it's okay if you're invested in finding out where the characters are now.

I downloaded this book to my kindle as having read the devil wears prada and seeing the film I knew it would be a winner! The plot is entertaining and no matter how you try if you have seen the original film, you will find yourself picturing the cast! There are some new characters though to get you imagination going but all in all this is a good read! I won't spoil the plot for those of you about to read it but it is interesting how characters from the first book 're-appear in this. If you liked the first one it's, definitely a good read! Plot gets a bit rushed towards the end but still enjoyable! Hard to put down!

Great price for a hardcover best seller! Absolutely love Lauren Weisberger! Her first novel, the Devil Wears Prada was an excellent read and a great movie as well! I always prefer a novel over it's film counterpart - but it's nice to watch the film and read the book because then you can put faces to the characters! I know this novel got a lot of flak saying it wasn't as good as the first one, but in my opinion, I actually really liked it! However, I would have chosen a different name for the novel as Miranda Priestly is not necesarily out for "revenge". Still a great read though!

Avendo letto glia ltri libri dell'autrice speravo decisamente meglio. Libro carino, buon esercizio per l'inglese se letto in lingua originale, ma trama scontata e ripetitiva. L'ossessione di ANdy per Miranda è davvero eccesiva e fallisce nel coinvolgere il letttore: sembra solo una un po' isterica ossessionata dalla sua ex datrice di lavoro. Get over it

I enjoyed reading it. It's fun and funny, and one for the road. I might not read it again, although I have a habit of rereading many of my novels.
