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.
勞倫·維斯貝格爾,著名時尚雜誌《VOGUE》前主編助理。《時尚女魔頭》是她的處女作,引起強烈震動。
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。
評分故事情节一般,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。
評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...
評分以前看 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...

沒什麼文學價值,就是作者在發泄自己的怨氣吧
评分因電影看的小說。感覺還是電影改得更好,更豐富。
评分時隔一年終於讀完瞭。通篇的complaint,結局卻還是不錯的。生詞少瞭一些,大概知道該怎麼看這類小說瞭。
评分也親身經歷瞭‘如有雷同,純屬巧閤 ’的深惡痛絕
评分在圖書館藉迴來假期看的,剛剛看完,故事寫的很緊湊,我在想著都是她經曆的嗎?每天過的太緊張又太“充實”……最後和亞曆剋斯和好瞭嗎?和剋裏斯蒂安怎麼樣瞭呢?
