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.
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...
评分先看了电影,感觉很赞,所以在书店看到这本书的时候就毫不犹豫地买下了。结果发现,终于找到了不如电影好看的原著。主要是不喜欢作者的那种态度,在她的眼中,Miranda只是个已折磨人为唯一目标的变态老板,而作者几乎用了所有的篇幅叽叽歪歪地抱怨,冷嘲热讽自己的老板。 然而...
