The Devil Wears Prada (original) (raw)

内容简介 · · · · · ·

A delightfully dishy novel about the all-time most impossible boss in the history of impossible bosses. Andrea Sachs, a small-town girl fresh out of college, lands the job “a million girls would die for.” Hired as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine, Andrea finds herself in an office that shouts Prada! Armani! Versace! at every turn, a world populated by impossibly thin, heart-wrenchingly stylish women and beautiful men clad in fine-ribbed turtlenecks and tight leather pants that show off their lifelong dedication to the gym. With breathtaking ease, Miranda can turn each and every one of these hip sophisticates into a scared, whimpering child. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA gives a rich and hilarious new meaning to complaints about “The Boss from Hell.” Narrated in Andrea’s smart, refreshingly disarming voice, it traces a deep, dark, devilish view of life at the top only hinted at in gossip columns and over Cosmopolitans at the trendiest cocktail parties. From sending the latest, not-yet-in-stores Harry Potter to Miranda’s children in Paris by private jet, to locating an unnamed antique store where Miranda had at some point admired a vintage dresser, to serving lattes to Miranda at precisely the piping hot temperature she prefers, Andrea is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.

小说远比电影要细节和具体，电影拍的相对柔和，结局的处理也做了一些美化，女魔头远比电影里要可恶，加上主角本人，其实也不讨喜，当然是在某段时间内。有时候人就是容易被眼前的景象迷惑而忘记了重要的人与事，认清这些事实，也总是需要付出些代价。

情节跟电影不太一样，感情上的事情并没有电影中的大团圆，但是Andy的变化确实明显的。可以说，一年的时间，让这个刚毕业的大学生快速的成长了，我也要毕业了，恐怕成长就是五味俱全，入口苦涩，后味甘甜

十分怀疑作者劳伦在写这本书的时候是一种什么目的或状态——报复？发泄？整本书看下来让人觉得很不舒服——一个整天穿着Jimmy Choo,Chanel,Versace,Gucci的主编助理Andrea（现实原型就是作者自己）每天都在抱怨她的工作，上司，同事，甚至她身边的朋友。她的工作发挥... (展开)
