Book Review: The Devil Wears Prada (Lauren Wiesberger)

By Abby H.

This movie is based on the book by Lauren Weisberger, and follows a young assistant through the perils of her new job for the high end fashion magazine, Runway. The young assistant, Andrea, is fresh out of college and is applying at places all over New York City, when she receives a call back from Elias-Clark where Runway off ices are. She gets the job as the assistant to Miranda Priestly, the editor-in-chief of Runway. Andrea is not the usual assistant for Miranda, considering fashion is on the bottom of her list of important things and her true passion lies in writing.

Andrea soon realizes that working for Miranda is not like working for any other, usual boss. Miranda is demanding, cruel, and acts as thought she were the queen of the world. Andrea finds that she must cater to her every whim unless she wants to loose her job. This movie take you thought the trials and tribulations of a young girl truly working for, "the boss from hell."
