If you have got absolutely nothing better to do, go ahead. One or two of these can actually be funny. But once you have gotten into the third book, everything gets so thoroughly predictable that makes the book almost unreadable. Almost nothing seems new in there, except a few characters, and the main character's shopping sprees and credit card problems make you sick.
Another thing I noticed about some of the paperbacks that I read recently... it looks like it is fashionable to use very conversational language in a book, and also to not spend too much time writing or thinking about a book. Many books infact, seem less well thought out than some blogs! But then I guess if the book is selling, I better not complain :(
Summary? Definitely read one book, just so you will know why certain people are so obsessed with Prada and Gucci. And why they dont refer to a green scarf as just green scarf, but a "Denny and George" green scarf.
And, since the book can be read in approximately the same time it takes to watch the movie, I would say give the book a try and the movie a pass.
