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.

劳伦·维斯贝格尔,著名时尚杂志《VOGUE》前主编助理。《时尚女魔头》是她的处女作,引起强烈震动。
文/洁尘 不奇怪《时尚女摩头》的小说和它衍生的电影会成为一个噱头。时尚——那些字眼,普拉达、古弛、香奈尔、路易威登、芬迪……这些字眼本身就具有一种致幻的效果,它代表着市面上通行的关于华丽、高雅、昂贵、少数、出众、脱俗等诸多的标签,而那些标签代言着人们想象的完...
评分我不得不承认,我常规的思维方式被电影里的这些东西一度带到海市蜃楼,不知所以,也无法评价电影本身的好坏,脑子里和女主角一样从一开始的不屑到迷恋在衣服包包里去了,甚至一度认为她的男朋友,朋友都没有体谅她,而且太否定时尚!看?!这就是这些华丽的东西对一个普通女人下...
评分终于,这周officially啃完了The Devil Wears Prada一书,这好像还是本人读的第一本当代英文小说,自然跟看狄更斯等古人的感觉很不一样。最直观的感觉就是简单,完全不用像以前读书的时候啃古书隔两个词查一下字典,很顺的可以看下来,完全make sense不费力。不过俺这种超慢速阅...
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...
评分边看边学英文~
评分当作职场英语看的。哈哈。还是电影好看些。
