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.

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 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。

书没读下去,偏罗嗦。但是电影排得很不错。merill streep 演绝了。
评分边看边学英文~
评分真实评分三星,但看见书和电影的差距忍不住提一下分。书和电影确实不是一个故事,冲着电影去的人可能要失望了。小菜鸟没有升级打怪,而是最终在老板007的压迫下不断被异化,最后崩溃辞职——这个故事难道不是更符合我们现在对于工作的认知么?电影还是太美化女魔头、美化压迫、甚至神话女主一年以来的工作所得了,大概因为主演是梅姨的缘故。
评分小说太一般,女主也很招人厌,远远不及改编后电影。
