A sharp, witty and hugely entertaining novel, The Devil Wears Prada has become a generation-defining bestselling classic.
Welcome to the dollhouse, baby!
When Andrea first sets foot in the plush Manhattan offices of Runway she knows nothing. She’s never heard of the world’s most fashionable magazine, or its feared and fawned-over editor, Miranda Priestly. But she’s going to be Miranda’s … Miranda’s assistant, a job millions of girls would die for.
A year later, she knows altogether too much:
That it’s a sacking offence to wear anything lower than a three-inch heel to work.
That Miranda believes Hermes scarves are disposable, and you must keep a life-time supply on hand at all times.
That you can charge cars, manicures, anything at all to the Runway account, but you must never, ever, leave your desk, or let Miranda’s coffee get cold.
And that at 3 a.m. on a Sunday, when your boyfriend’s dumping you because you’re always at work, and your best friend’s just been arrested, if Miranda phones, you jump.
Most of all, Andrea knows that Miranda is a monster who makes Cruella de Vil look like a fluffy bunny. But also that this is her big break, and it’s going to be worth it in the end.
Isn’t it?

My first from this author. Loved this book and so real. Great look into the industry.
This could have been a great book except that the protagonist came off as a whiny self-centered jerk.
Not my cup of tea!
Didn’t read the book, but saw the movie. It was good.
Movie was better
Having had a boss exactly like the main character made this book very realistic to me. Enjoyed. Liked the book much better than the movie.
This book is excellent. If you love fashion or just enjoy watching an underdog come out a victor, it’s a must read. The book has a very different ending from the movie and there are a few other smaller differences. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish and the characters reveal who they truly are in ways you would never expect. I like that both Andy and Miranda are flawed and yet tough and vulnerable at the same time. In the end, you realize they are a lot more alike than it would seem.
This was such a delicious skewering of the fashion world. Laugh out loud funny.
I don’t think I would have lasted ten minutes. Loved the metamorphosis of the heroine.
A fun diversion.
The book, which I read first, was way better than the movie!
A really fun book for the reader who doesn’t want his/her brain cells tugged on too hard. I liked it a lot.
Wow- just Wow
I couldnt put it down
Felt as stressed as the main character through the whole book but what a read !
Good book, great movie. A very fun, entertaining read. Loved the characters!
Really didn’t like this book.
Much better than the movie. I always will recommend to read the book before you watch the movie because the movie changes so much because of time constraints.
I didn’t like the book or the movie. I don’t like mean entitled people though. It was a slow read for me.
To your own self be true. Helps you to see what’s really important in life.
LOVED IT!
Hardwork & heart wins over EVIL!
BUT, you end up feeling, for both women.
One of my favorites, EVER!
