Publisher's Summary:
The Devil Wears Prada gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to "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. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda's children in Paris by private jet, 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. 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 the job is worth the price of her soul.
Critic Reviews:
"Miranda's behavior is so insanely over-the-top that it's a gas to see what she'll do next, and to try to guess which incidents were culled from real life." (Amazon.com)
"Weisberger has penned a comic novel that manages to rise to the upper echelons of the chick-lit genre." (Publishers Weekly)
Members Reviews:
A light read but entertaining
This book is pure junk food: No substance for a literary mind but a great read for giving your brain a rest. The length is good and the story keeps moving in this abridged addition. There were no preachy or long, whiny diatribes of the injustices Andrea suffered at the hands of her boss, (which I absolutely hated in the Nanny Diaries.) However, it annoyed me that the author weakly tried to tackle a moral/social issue (which is more important, job or friends). I think it detracted from the strengths of the book, which were its gossipy look into fashion publishing and those wonderful interactions with the devil herself, Miranda Priestly.
Could not listen to reader's delivery
The story is similar in theme to "The Nanny Diaries" (young woman works for affluent female "Boss from Hell". I tried to enjoy the story, but the reader's delivery was absolutely unbearable to listen to. The delivery was flat, drippy, emotionless. I think I'll go to the library and borrow the printed book to read.
Not funny enough
A tale of a 23 year-old in her first out of university job. The story is very light and is supposed to be funny. But rather than finding the main character's "boss from hell" situation sympathetic and amusing, I found it pathetic and annoying. Her reason for staying in her job is a little thin and therefore it's hard to feel she's a victim. I did break a smile a few times but never really laughed.
No bad, but not good...
Ok so this isnt exactly the greatest book in the world, but it is amusing and entertaining especially if you've ever had to deal with cranky bosses and co-workers. The plot and the main characters are weak, but if you are looking for a little humor and nothing to substanial then this is for you!
Whaa Whaa Whaa
What kind of intellegent young woman would put up with this treatment for this long? Shades of The Nannie Diaries. Very whiney, very shallow. Very boring.
