Devils In My Details [Digipak] - ohGr

My Devil wears Primark

Advantages: Witty commentary on today's society
Disadvantages: The portrait is truer than it should be

, will this temporary job that was only meant to be a gateway to the serious journalistic job Andy once craved suck her in? Will she sacrifice her ethics to become accepted into a world she used to despise? In gaining her bosses respect and confidence will the "New Andy" lose that of her family, friends and boyfriend Nate? Will Andy learn there is a different side to the apparently shallow and cruel world of fashion? Oh the questions! Who is David Frankel? ************************** David is a native New Yorker and perhaps that lies behind his success with this film. This coupled with the fact that he is the son of former executive editor of the New York Times, made him well-placed to understand the world that we are introduced to in The Devil Wears Prada.

The Devil in her Jimmy Choos...

Advantages: Watchable, Some brilliant performances
Disadvantages: Somewhat predictable

Advantages: A great read, funny and entertaining
Disadvantages: None

This is a small detail that really adds to the feel of the book.

The story itself is strong enough to keep fans of mystery writing intrigued and entertained to the very end and fans of rollicking good adventures populated by larger than life characters such as those in the Flashman Papers will also be delighted with the novel.
