The Devil Wears
Prada is about a young woman called Andrea Sachs,
who wants to become a journalist. She gets hired as the second assistant of Miranda
Priestly, a ruthless executive of the runway fashion magazine. Miranda’s first
assistant Emily advises Andrea about the behaviour of their cruel boss. It will
be a challenge for Andrea when she has to drastically change her clothes and
image, with the help of Nigel, the magazine’s art director. The job becomes really hard, because of
Miranda’s tough working rhythm and impossible tasks, which leaves Andrea
without a private life with her boyfriend Nate, family and friends. In the end
the old Andrea has gone and the new Andrea is now more preoccupied about her
image and her future in the magazine.
What I liked best of the book is the beginning where you realise that
although you’re not good at fashion and you don’t know what it is or means, you
can still improve and reach the top. I also enjoyed how two assistants realise
that although they are competing against each other they can still be friends
and work together.
I would definitely recommend The
Devil Wears Prada to my friends because it has a really good plot which
combines drama with humour. The book keeps the audience interested and there
are no slow sections in it. Once you pick it up and start reading you won’t
want to put it down. People who are interested in fashion and drama should read
it because these are the two main concepts of the book.
