The Devil Wears Prada

By a LONG SHOT

The book is better than the movie. I had no idea just how different the two were. Now I find the movie trite. I would have loved to see Andy yell “F#€K YOU” twice to Miranda as the book portrayed Andy’s departure from Runway at the end, but Hollywood couldn’t give us what we wanted and made up junk instead. Why? Too much was made up! C’mon! Everyone wanted to tell Miranda to F off and Andy did! Book better than movie.

Such a funny and lively book that turns out to be so uplifting and empowering. From someone who’s spent most of his life working in the fashion industry, I’m here to tell you that this book is as real as it gets. Enjoy it from beginning to end, don’t skip ahead, because every page is a hilarious delight.

The book contains constant racist commentary about anyone who isn’t white - example - she couldn’t tell her two Indian roommates apart?!?! As well as broken English dialects.

I read it before the movie came out and reread it not too long ago. There are some differences between the two but it’s great. Definitely recommend!

You are 😒

This book is definitely one of the reasons why I love NYC, and why I came here to re-invent myself. I've read it once a year, and I never get tired.

This was a truly terrible book. It may even be the worst (fiction) I've ever read! An absolute piece of tripe. 'Devil wears prada' by some woman whose name I can't be bothered to remember...'emily' something?... The premise of the story itself is promising, kind of a guilty pleasure exposé. But...it's about 300 pages too long and is badly in need of editing. The main character is extremely unlikeable, and the plot is contrived and near impossible to believe. I advise you -- for your own sanity -- if you are interested in this story, to just rent the movie instead. It is better edited and better executed than the rambling drivel I just numbed my brain with. My only question to myself is why did I bother seeing it through to the end? Two reasons: One, i had faith the ending would justify the tedious journey. And two, I paid for the ebook. The ending did not save this book! 3 days of my life, robbed from me forever. Oh, woe! =\ P.s. I can say without a doubt, that the single most irritating thing about this book was the schizophrenic narrative! It was written in 1st person (not a bad thing in itself), but it did an annoying flashback thing...constantly! The trouble with these flashbacks is that they were far too long, made me forget where i was, and forced me to flip back about 20 pages each time just to keep the timeline of the story straight! P.p.s. I feel very 'drained' from this reading experience, and honestly suspect that the author was using me (the audience) as her personal shrink-- since apparently the story is a bit of an autobiography -- or so google says. Lol, I feel used!!

This book compared to the movie was like night and day. Not sure why they went a whole new direction. The movie should have been called something else. The book all in all was a good story. Am torn. Should I had read the book first or not read the book at all?

I read that book a while ago, even before the movie came out, and I loved it! I felt like someone was writting about my own experience!! YES some boss are exactly like that!! I had a very good time reading it and couldn't wait to see how the movie would turned out! I think Meryl Streep did a wonderful job !! Recommand that book!
