So, while I was in the hospital.... I managed to finish The Devil Wears Prada.
I'm not going to bother with some long detailed review -- I think I was the last person in America to read the book.... and I haven't seen the movie.
Instead, I'll just share some things that I found interesting.....
Upon seeing the book, every nurse in the hospital had to comment on it..... "I loved that book," "I hated that book," "It was hard to get into," and of course the usual "Not as good as the movie" or "So much better than the movie."
Makes me wonder..... do you prefer to read the book first? or see the movie first?
I personally prefer to read the book first (if I bother to see the movie at all) -- I can't really think of an instance where I preferred a movie to a book..... but that's just me.
The book was okay -- it was fluffy -- good for hospital (or beach) reading, but not much more.
Based on Sarah's and Arwen's recommendations, I'm currently in the middle of the The Time Traveler's Wife and so far.... I like it -- it's clever and different and it's holding my attention without being so intellectual that I can't put it down and pick it back up easily..... I hope to finish it by the end of the week..... so I'll let you know how it is when I'm done.
