Revenge Wears Prada

Revenge Wear Prada has been written by Lauren Weisberger. Book has published in 2013. Wesberger has born in 1977, so she is 38-years-old. She is also written three other novels, Everyone Worth Knowing, Chasing Harry Winston and The Devil Wears Prada. The Devil Wears Prada is first book of her and this Revenge Wears Prada is sequel. The Devil Wears Prada is also a movie. This book spent a year on the New York Times bestseller list.

I hadn’t any idea what is the genre of this book but I found out that it belogns in genre: Chick lit. It means that a book is telling a story of young, adult woman who has career with fashion or public relations. Usually she’s single and genre tells her life with humor. The gene were originated from Briget Jones. This books fits perfectly in to the genre of chick lit. Young woman running her own magazine. She is jut getting married but then everything changes. Problems begins. First part, The Devil Wears Prada belongs also in chick lit. It is very similiar with this one.

The main caracters is Andrea Sachs, better known as Andy, her previous enemy in nowadays best friend Emily and her future husband Max. Andy and Emily is running together Andy’s magzine. The devil herself, Miranda is editorial director of Elias-Clark where Andrea and Emily used to work, but from the beginning to the end she is not the main caracter. While talking about stereotypes this is all it. Miranda, ”The Devil”, is very cold hearted woman who is running renowned magazine and has a expencive home on an expencive area but have no husband. Andrea used to be a nerd but Miranda made her transformation and all of the sudden she became a bitch. Miranda’s  ex-assistant Emily in nowadays Andy’s best friend were ”the main bitch” who made Andrea run place to another. She was cruel but then se broke down and Andrea helped her.

I try to keep summary of plot short. Andrea is running own magazine with her bestfriend Emily. She is getting married with her man Max, but she finds out that Max has screwd up everything on his bachelor party. Then the devil, Miranda, steps in to the story. Everything starts to fall a pieces. No wedding, no best friend, no trust and in the end… no magazine.

The language of the book is very clear and easy to read. There is no swearing, but it is really how can I say.. ”Fashionable”. Because the book is telling about just that dream. New York, fashion magazine, enemies, perfect husband. You know? There is also omniscient narrator.

I liked this book very much. It was quite funny but still so rough. Everything is not how you think it is. I prefere to read this book. It gives you a functional thought of supposedly life in New York.

The Nanny

I choose television show The Nanny. It is American sitcome released in 1993 – 1999. The stars of this show is the nanny Fran Fine (Fran Drescher), a rich Broadway-producer Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaugnessy), his businesspartner C.C Babcock (Lauren Lane) and a butler Niles (Daniel Davis). This show has been written and produces by Fran Drescher and her husband. Every episode has its own story. Her (Fran Fine) job is to take care of Maxwells three children Margaret, Brighton nad Grace.

I like this kind of show because it is a sitcome, which make me laugh every time. It feels like I would be watching it by my self on live because the laughter of the live audience makes it feel so. Camera working is perfect and every single funny part has been filmed perfectly. Caracters are naturally funny. It doesn’t feel like acting more like naturally outcoming. There is no special effects at all. When funny part is coming caracters handle it with facial expressions and gestures. It works well! The voice of acter is also important. That how you say something effects on if you’re trying to say something stupid but also soud funny.

A little about plot. This all story begins when Frans ex-boyfriend fires and dumbs her. She is trying to sell cosmetics and comes to the door of Mr. Sheffield. Maxwells wife has died and he is alone with these three children. Fran Fine has not any experience of being nanny but Maxwell hires this impressive woman. And she totally changes everything. C.C, who is really in love with Maxwell becomes  envious toward Fran. The show includes a lot of sarcastic jokes between butler Niles and C.C Babcock. Frans mom Sylvia and grandmotrher Yetta gets more mishaps to the show. Every Episode is really succesfull and funny experience. I recommend!
