Book Description
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.

I had to stop in the first chapter because the job of our heroine, Andrea, seemed too scary for me to continue reading.
Then I watched the movie which was excellent. It was very smart of the script writer to change the order of the story so that we understand what type of job it is before going into the "horrible-boss" details. It turned out that this job is not that bad at all, and I actually sympathize the boss.
The movie is much better than the book.

Quindi questo libro é piú che verosimile. E' crudelmente realistico.
Forse perche' ho un debole per quella citta', ma l'ho trovato pure il piú bel chick-lit che abbia mai letto.

Lo ammetto, dopo la botta tremenda infertami da Saramago avevo bisogno di qualcosa di frivolo e leggero. Questo romanzo, portato via per mezzo pound dal mio spacciatore preferito di libri usati di Notting Hill, mi pareva la scelta giusta. Avevo trovato il film carino e, come un'allocca, ero caduta vittima di un pregiudizio che normalmente combatto: i libri sono sempre migliori delle loro trasposizioni cinematografiche. Mai più! In questo caso - e in infiniti altri, naturalmente - non è vero. Il film di David Frankel, benché più ruffiano e conciliante (la Miranda Priestly della Weisberger è molto, ma molto più cattiva di quella di Meryl) ha un ritmo e un equilibrio che il romanzo si sogna. Così io, che sono senz'altro meno fashionista pure dell'autrice, mi sono ritrovata a pisolare attraverso interminabili liste di nomi di stilisti, modelle, coloristi, socialites, e a sorbirmi impotente la descrizioni di interi gargantueschi guardaroba. Magari servirà anche a qualcosa, nella vita, conoscere i nomi dei più lussuosi calzolai di Manhattan. Peccato che io li abbia già dimenticati.
A fun read and I look forward to seeing the film. I think that Meryl Streep an excellent actress will make a very convincing Miranda Priestly!
終於看完這本原文書,不過我比較喜歡電影的張力,電影裡面比較有女 主角不服輸,努力的呈現,書裡面我比較感覺不到這份努力。不過,說 不定有可能是我英文不夠好,所以沒辦法深刻體驗的關係。
與電影版內容幾乎不同。若對電影版中的Andy有喜愛者,不建議購 買小說版。在我認為,小說中的Andy完全是個任性又自私的人,所 以說實在話,看完後感到很懊悔。
