The Devil Wears Prada (review)

I chose The Devil Wears Prada becuase I saw the movie and liked it and I found out that it was a book so I decided to read it. This book is about a girl named Andrea who just got out of college and is starting her career in journalism. In order to get anywhere she finds a job that “a million girls would die for.” That job just so happens to be working for Miranda Priestly, the editor in chief of the top fashion magazine, Runway. Andrea becomes Mirandas personal assistant and she was told that if she stuck with it for a year that she would get a job at any newspaper or magazine that she wanted. This job stretched her to her limits. Miranda was an impossible boss to work for and asked Andrea to do the craziest things that you would never expect a human to be able to accomplish in the amount of time Miranda gave her. Through this job Andrea had to be extremely devoted and she did just that although she did not like it. In the end it almost cost her her friends and family so she did not finish her year with Miranda and ended up quiting. Although she did not finish her year with Miranda, she still thought she was the best assistant she has ever had.

In this book I love the style Lauren Weisberger, the author, uses throughout the book to make it a lot of fun to read. When I was reading the book it was almost like I was there because of the way she described and worded everything. Some parts were very funny and in other parts you could sense the tension and craziness that was happening at that very moment. She would make a word itallicised, bold, or in all caps to make it stand out and you would know exactly what was going on because of the way to word was written. I really loved how she used all different styles throughout the book so it was always interesting.

I loved this book and I would recommend that you read it. It was made into a movie but I believer that the book is better, books are always better than the movies. I think you will enjoy this book. It is very funny and well written, there is never a dull moment and you wont be able to put this book down. There is really not anything that I can think of that made this book lousy or “bad,” it was all around a great book and I think you will really enjoy it.
