Book 350 The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger


650 books to go!

Told in first person point of view this is the story of Andrea Sachs, a college graduate desperate to write for the New Yorker. Somehow she bungles her way through an interview landing a job as a junior editorial assistant to Miranda Priestly, editor of Runway Magazine. Soon Andrea is practically Miranda's slave, sacrificing much of her life to be at Miranda's beck and call. The story is based highly on personal values, how far will one person go to land their dream job? How far will someone go for comped designer duds? What do you sacrifice just to get somewhere faster and is it worth it? Also anyone reading it will realize their boss is probably a saint compared to the fictional Miranda Priestly. Overall the book was enjoyable and I'm awaiting the newly written sequel as soon as it's my turn to read a copy from the library.
