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.
摘自《博客大巴》 Lauren Weisberger不能算得上是一位好作家。她总共出过三本书,有两本被评为了年度最差。唯一幸免的那本就是人尽皆知的《the Devil wears Prada》。在这本书里,Lauren带着一肚子的抱怨和怒气,本打算着把一盆狗血痛痛快快地泼在那个常年梳着Bob头型的...
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...
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。
近日唯一点亮我生活的东东 如此轻松愉快 LAUREN有个幽默的老爸 哈哈
评分因电影看的小说。感觉还是电影改得更好,更丰富。
评分时隔一年终于读完了。通篇的complaint,结局却还是不错的。生词少了一些,大概知道该怎么看这类小说了。
评分办公室生活。。。
