A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses.
Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child.
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The Boss from Hell.” Narrated in Andrea’s smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda’s children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.

You remind me of myself when I was your age. Here is a rule of thumb: if you are not sure what you will be like ten years from now, just observe your colleagues or your boss, and very probably, you will become one of them. Andrea’s last straw is not Mir...
评分 评分故事情节一般,我是先看了电影,再去看书的。情节没有大起大落,都是些鸡毛蒜皮的事情,小有小的精彩,因为我的工作也是助理,所以看了书颇有体会,幸好我还没碰上那么变态的老板。
评分十分怀疑作者劳伦在写这本书的时候是一种什么目的或状态——报复?发泄?整本书看下来让人觉得很不舒服——一个整天穿着Jimmy Choo,Chanel,Versace,Gucci的主编助理Andrea(现实原型就是作者自己)每天都在抱怨她的工作,上司,同事,甚至她身边的朋友。 她的工作发挥...
评分得看《The devil wears prada》还是06年的事,走的是传统的好莱坞风格:丑小鸭变白天鹅的传统故事(也是安娜.海瑟薇最擅长的角色);后妈一般的反面人物(可怜的梅尔.斯特里普);还有必有的几个角色的设置:死忠的倒霉鬼大助——艾米丽和安迪的精神导师——奈吉儿。他们分别站...
