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.
Lauren Weisberger (born March 28, 1977 in Scranton, Pennsylvania) is an American novelist and author of the 2003 bestseller The Devil Wears Prada, a roman à clef of her time as a put-upon assistant to Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
In 2003, Weisberger authored her first book, The Devil Wears Prada, which spent six months on the New York Times Best Seller List. The book provides a semi-fictional but highly critical view of the Manhattan elite's empty obsession with materialism and fashion. As of July 2006, The Devil Wears Prada was the best selling mass market softcover book in the nation.
You remind me of myself when I was your age. Here is a rule of thumb: if you are not sure what you will be like ten years from now, just observe your colleagues or your boss, and very probably, you will become one of them. Andrea’s last straw is not Mir...
评分很早就想看看原著是什么样子的,看过电影后总想看看原著。 这几天正好有空,总算把这本书看过。 书和电影其实差不大多,就是在细节上有点出处! 我很感概,好莱坞 竟然可以把这么长的一本书 压缩成一个半小时的电影! 了不起的好莱坞 最近看了一些关于,为了工作而牺牲自己感情...
评分本年度最长、最厚、最沉的一本书,终于让我读完了。 而且是在几经断续中,结束了全书。 成就感陡然而生。 这个令人羡慕的女孩有着自己悲惨的一面,但是或许还是更多的羡慕,再一次充斥。 当站在顶级主管的身边,出入左右的时候; 当将无数凡人不可想象的大牌随手拈来的时候...
评分从衣柜里随便一拎就是Prada,抽屉里堆满了Hermes白丝巾供你抽取,丢了也无妨; 只要打个电话二十五秒后就有一双价值数千美元、合你尺寸的鞋子奉上,当然免费; 价值数万美元的手提包里,胡乱塞着Bvlgari香水、Hermes笔记本,还有一条LV的狗项圈…… 出国出差,所有同事会组...
评分看了电影兴冲冲跑去买书的,却发现书和电影的区别太大了。 作者的文字水平就不说了,书中的女主角完全不像电影里那么聪明可爱,不仅办事能力素质很差,而且自始至终没完没了地抱怨抱怨抱怨,对几乎每个人都那么恶毒。不仅如此,虽然处处宣传着自己多么纯真高贵,却面不改色地...
特别努力地读完的

评分看她开着米兰达的车,把烟烫在GUCCI裤子那段酣畅淋漓的章节,实在感觉作者有去NEW YORKER的文笔功底。
