So I finally finished reading "Revenge Wears Prada." It was nice. You get all of your favorite characters, and Andy's in a good place: she gets married, has a baby, and a cool career. What was surprising was *who* she has that career with. The only thing I didn't really like was the "smash cuts"- one chapter, she's about ready to have a baby; in the next, the baby's already several weeks old. I suppose the pacing would have been a lot slower had the author take us through every single important event.
[SPOILER ALERT]
What I had a hard time with was "discerning" who the "Revenge" part was with. It's not from who you would think.... at first.... I think it actually comes from a few different people, and it's more along the lines of betrayal.
However, overall, it's a bittersweet yet satisfying ending. I would love to see this as a movie, but I don't think it would happen.

I went to see "World War Z" on the day it opened. You may remember one of my posts a few months ago about us fans of the book unsure of what the film would be like, to say the least.
Here's my verdict: it wasn't that bad. The worldwide feel that you get from the book's "interviews" is still here. Brad Pitt's character goes around the world to places that haven't quite been extensively explored in other films: South Korea, Israel, and WHO headquarters. There are some very cool action sequences involving an airplane, and Israel. The zombies are fast. Almost too fast.
How the zombies are finally conquered was quite an interesting twist that I wouldn't have foreseen. (Yeah, I do need to reread the book.)
