I found Everyone Worth Knowing quite difficult to get into at first, but ended up enjoying it.

Will look out for this at the library smile.gif

I hope it's just as sassy as Devil Wears Prada. I haven't read Everyone Worth Knowing yet.

I liked 'The Devil Wears Prada', although I thought it dragged on and on a bit with the impossible tasks and Andy struggling to complete them. I thought the movie was much better than the book! Which is not something I can say about many other novels-turned-movies.

However I didn't like Everyone Worth Knowing at all. I thought it was dull. I think L.W. had a lot of material to go on when she was writing TDWP because she'd had the experience of working for Anna Wintour but now she doesn't have much else to say. I might see if I can borrow the new one from the library or something.

Well I finished it on Sunday night - it was OK. It was readable but it certainly wasn't the best thing I have read lately. I guess I just didn't love the characters so I wasn't too concerned how things worked out for them. But it was a nice easy enjoyable read for a day where I was feeling pretty crap.

I finished Louise Bagshawe's 'Glitz' yesterday and thought that was much better. Pure fluff but enjoyable fluff.
