The Devil Wears Prada
By Lauren Weisberger
Andrea Sachs has
recently graduated college and is trying to find a job that will someday lead
her to working for The New Yorker, when she is hired by the most exasperating
and demanding woman on the face of the planet, Miranda Priestly. Throughout the
novel Andrea is forced day after day to do increasingly demeaning tasks and
sacrifice her relationships with everyone around her, when she begins to change
into someone unrecognizable even to herself she decides enough is enough.
The entire book is a
satirical look at having a demanding boss which I am sure everyone can
appreciate in one form or another. It’s witty and well written the only fault I
have with it is that Lauren Weisberger seems to have some problem with southern
people and describes them as tasteless, the main character even belittles the
fact that her sister and brother in law live in Houston and have started to
speak with southern accents. I am not quite sure why she finds this necessary
but coming from Texas, I didn’t enjoy it whatsoever. It is completely unlike
the movie which is a good thing I didn’t particularly enjoy the movie, the
ending of the book was very lacking however it almost feels as though it didn’t
end at all she just decided to quit writing. This is definitely a book you will
have to read for yourself to see if you like it or not as for me it had its
good points and it’s bad so I am not even sure if I did.
