I finally finished listening to The Devil Wears Prada (yes, I'm counting it towards my 52 in 52 since it took me longer to listen to it than it would have taken if I had just sat down and read it), and I have a question for those of you who have read it. Did you have a hard time feeling sorry for the main character?

I didn't like the main character, Andrea, at all. In some ways, I think I liked Miranda much more than Andrea. I get that the book is suppose to be one of those "bosses from hell tales" (a la The Nanny Diaries), but I just couldn't work up much sympathy for Andrea. I do think that some of Miranda's requests were ridiculous, however, a lot of the tasks that Andrea spent such a large amount of time bitching about are things all assistants do for their boss. Why are you in a snit that you have to run out and get your boss coffee at Starbuck's? You are an assistant. It's your job, so shut up.

Am I alone on this?
