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.
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...
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。
评分终于,这周officially啃完了The Devil Wears Prada一书,这好像还是本人读的第一本当代英文小说,自然跟看狄更斯等古人的感觉很不一样。最直观的感觉就是简单,完全不用像以前读书的时候啃古书隔两个词查一下字典,很顺的可以看下来,完全make sense不费力。不过俺这种超慢速阅...
没什么文学价值,就是作者在发泄自己的怨气吧
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。
评分在图书馆借回来假期看的,刚刚看完,故事写的很紧凑,我在想着都是她经历的吗?每天过的太紧张又太“充实”……最后和亚历克斯和好了吗?和克里斯蒂安怎么样了呢?
评分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
评分语言很口语化,不难。Miranda Priestly的形象非常鲜明,让主角Andy黯然失色。只是结尾太过仓促,不够理想。快进了一下电影版,似乎跟原著差距挺大。
