I loved it. there were so many times that I could relate to the main character. funny, serious, and relatable.
I loved the 2006 movie so much that I'd planned on reading the Prada series for ages. I had high hopes as well because again, the movie was so good - and the book is always better, right? In the case of The Devil Wears Prada, I feel that this isn't the case. I was extremely disappointed with the story and what was somewhat naivety and innocence initially quickly becomes a dismissal of anyone who takes the role within 'Runway' magazine and the fashion industry as a whole which grated on my nerves. I'm trying of course not to compare the two, but in the movie, Andrea isn't bitchy towards those who actively help her - but it's shown time and again throughout the book and I found myself wishing that Miranda Priestly would fire the young assistant and put us all out of our misery. Andrea continues to berate Priestly behind her back for actually wanting her assistant to do
I really enjoyed the movie and felt like it humanized Miranda in a way that this book did not. I understand the intention of the author and think this book is enjoyable if you have never seen the movie.
