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.

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
