Revenge Wears Prada Review I have eagerly anticipated Revenge Wears Prada since I heard on the internet of it's future publishing.

Probably not as many as 10, but no real problem here. And if Revenge is supposed to refer to Miranda, then that doesn't make sense because she has zero desire for revenge. I mean, she's crazy rich and beautiful and successful and talented and spends all her time at the Hamptons or with celebrit.

Bennett is deeply engaged in the unknowability of other people and the scourge of colorism. I laughed a lot. I could empathize with Andy and wonder 'if I were in her shoes, could I do it? And now, 10 years later, Andy is at a much different/better place in her life and is actually able to go toe-to-toe with Miranda. Let's just hope the actors from the first movie are smart enough to say no to the sequel. Andy is a completely different character from Devil Wears Prada. What a lazy, predictable effort...

So that soap box that Andy has been standing on collapsed.Emily....i didn't understand why Andy would ever be friends with Emily.I still don't..Basically the whole book is Andy looking for a reason to divorce Max and justify her passiveness on how horribly she was treated by Miranda even though she was not so stressed out to use her name to get ahead a few times...I felt bad for Max. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of, Published First thing Tuesday morning, I jumped out of bed and grabbed my Kindle, ready to begin my day with breakfast, Andy, Emily and Miranda. She's a completely different character than in DWP, and is now quite boring and weak, and never funny. You can still see all customer reviews for the product. But when she and Bennett settle in Baileyville, Kentucky, she realizes that her life consists of nothing more than staying in their giant house all day and getting yelled at by his unpleasant father, who owns a coal mine. She is the type of "girl" that get's mad at her husband for seemingly no reason at all and then gets even more pissed when he can't read her mind.

Overall, this book doesn't come close to measuring up to the originality of the first. Weisberger’s sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, a 2003 best-seller inspired by the author’s time working for Anna Wintour at Vogue.. It’s been 10 years and Andy Sachs is still haunted by the memory of evil Miranda Priestly, her former boss at women’s fashion bible Runway.No longer Miranda’s lackey, Andy is now a successful writer and founder of a glossy wedding magazine called The Plunge.
