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。
LAUREN WEISBERGER,绝不仅仅是此书序言中“初出茅庐的小说家”那么简单,在撰写此书之前,她是全球最有影响力时尚杂志《Vogue》美国版的总编辑 Anna Wintour的助理。而此本小说描写的则是一位刚刚大学毕业的女学生 Andrea Sachs获得了一份在顶尖时尚杂志《Runway》为堪称暴君...
评分既然都快满1年了为什么还是没忍住,关键时刻掉链子啊。。 我并不觉得那句“看到了年轻时候的我”有什么问题, 哈哈或许我就是被虐+工作狂吧, 喜欢这种激烈的生活, 如果有机会也想感受。
评分以前看 The Devil wears Prada 的电影,总觉得味道不太对,一直想读一下原版书,最近赋闲在家,终于有时间。 看了蛮有同感的,也许是因为第一份工作也是助理性质,给美籍华人的职业经理人做英文秘书,的确是有点Miranda那样的做派。 第一天上班发现原来不只一个秘书,有和书中E...
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...
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...
Chronical nagging
评分坚持不下去了,听了开头几章,觉得女魔头要求很无理又没人情味,听起来就是一个有钱任性的碧池而已,让读者也感觉负能量爆棚,我们本来就已经是很惨的社畜了好吗,不要再让我听这种假鸡血了,其他女孩对miranda的崇拜和喜欢完全不能自圆其说啊,弃了弃了
评分看完这个,再去找电影看。英文原版小说,感觉就是不一样!
评分很好看~~ 但作者也实在没有太多才华...可惜
评分书没读下去,偏罗嗦。但是电影排得很不错。merill streep 演绝了。
