Andrea Sachs is the personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the high-profile, fabulously successful editor of Runway magazine. As can be imagined, the relationship of Ms. Priestly to Ms. Sachs is one of unmitigated oppression, enormous egoism, and blatant disregard for human feeling. Andrea is given a series of increasingly degrading and mind-bogglingly menial tasks, and must complete all of them, around the clock, without complaint. What induces Andrea to suffer this treatment? It is the dangled promise that a recommendation from Miranda will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. But as her burden increases, she realizes that she may have made a deal with the devil, and that the price of a future job may be her very soul.

Decent book, but seems long sometimes (could be from listening to it on the iPod).
Le fameux roman sur une Anna Wintour pseudo-fictive, qui a a été adapté en film ayant fait un tabac au box-office.
The movie was soooo much better than the book. To be fair, the book and movie are 2 completely different stories. Andy in the movie has more heart, although Alex is less likeable. Unbelievable but the book does not resonate as well as the movie. The book seems disjointed and the characters unpolished. Read if you're curious, otherwise hard pass.
I enjoyed the humor throughout. Weisberger is certainly talented at telling a story. I care nothing for fashion or social drama and still found it to be a page-turner that I couldn't put down. For me it worked better as a film only because I lack the fashion knowledge to visualize most of the clothing talked about in the book. It's not my typical read, or I believe it would probably rate higher. Simply not the subject matter for me.
