The Devil Wears PradaBy Lauren Weisberger
Doubleday, 2003. 360 p. Fiction
The Devil Wears Prada is an outrageous and humorous look at the life of an aspiring writer who lands an unexpected job as the assistant to the editor of an influential fashion magazine. The job is all about satisfying a self-centered boss and surviving in a world where everything is a luxury brand. Heroine Andrea Sachs has more to learn than just the ropes of her over-the-top, demanding job. How will being part of such an appearance oriented world affect her health, her love life, her family and friends? Does her future really hinge on satisfying her tyrannical boss?
If you’ve seen the movie, you may not need to read the book. But if you haven’t, read the book first. It’s a quick trip through a world few of us will ever see (thankfully). Andrea extricates herself from many preposterous situations, and in true chick lit fashion, finally has the strength to extricate herself from the most preposterous situation of all.
