This book, like Oppenheimer's others are like eating a guilty dessert. Maybe not the best thing for you, but enjoyable once in a while. The book is an extremely well research less than flattering bio of the editor of American Vogue.

I knew next to nothing about Wintour before reading it, and found it an interesting story of the fashion and magazine world, and her family's role in it. She comes off as someone who was never afraid to use her feminine wiles, but while that and family connections got her in the door, skill kept her there. This was after a rocky start at several other magazines.

She had an interesting upbringing, bedfellows and behavior. This is a fairly quick entertaining read.
