Book Review of The Devil Wears Prada (Prada, Bk 1)

The Devil Wears Prada (Prada, Bk 1)

Helpful Score: 1


Hilarious, fast-paced "tell-all" about the world of high-fashion. 22 year old Andrea hires on as the junior assistant to Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of Runway magazine and suffers horribly at the whims of her abusive boss. Supposedly Miranda Priestly = Anna Wintour at Vogue (some other characters in the book are also extremely recognisable fixtures at Vogue)--the author was Wintour's assistant for 9 months--but the author denies this. Of course. Who wants a lawsuit, right?

Mediocre writing, but absorbing, especially if you have ever had a horrible boss.
