Book Review on The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

I picked this up at the Goodwill. I liked the movie and thought why not read it? It was very similar to the movie and went in deeper to the horribleness of Miranda and her antics. I know nothing of fashion but I do know something about horrible bosses. I've had a couple through the years. It was obvious this was written for a city, mostly New York City, person and also someone who is into high fashion. I knew none of the streets or landmarks that were mentioned or the designers. What was really funny was the fact everyone at the office thought Andrea dressed so terribly because she was wearing Banana Republic and Abercrombie. I'll tell you I have been in these stores before and was in such sticker shock that I just walked back out.

Anyway, it was a good, well written book. Not one I am keeping or planning to read again, but if you liked the movie, fashion, or bad bosses and you need a quick read pick it up.

I've read that too. I liked the movie much better. Miranda actually had a soul in the movie but in the book she was horrible.

I agree. I think all the characters had more depth in the movie than the book.
