It's an interesting story which gives some unique insights in the world of high fashion. I especially enjoyed it because of the not-so-veiled rumors about the antagonist being based on Anna Wintour. It's a good read if you enjoy chick-lit.

Very entertaining. Very descriptive. Fun to imagine living that type of life... Good character development. Don't judge this book by its movie!

The Devil Wears Prada is not a book that I would usually read but I had seen the film and really liked it. For me it was slow to progress but once I had gotten into it I quite enjoyed the book. I thought the end was really good as Andy told Miranda were to go which everyone who reads this book will want to do as I connected to Andy and how she was feeling. I wouldn't say it was one of the best books I've ever read but I would recommend it to anyone who wants a change from the average books about vampires and werewolves. This books show the different type of people in society and how no one is really better than anyone else no matter what they may think.

Ho impiegato molto tempo a finirlo, considerando che ho letto le prime trenta pagine quattro anni fa. L’ho trovato molto lento all’inizio, soprattutto perché l’ho letto con il film ben impresso nella mia mente. La seconda metà del libro, tuttavia, l’ho trovata più scorrevole e coinvolgente.
In confronto al film, ho trovato Andy meno piacevole come persona, spesso irritante, e invece ho preferito la Emily del libro a quella del film. Su Miranda Priestly non ho nulla da dire, trovo che il personaggio del film e quello del libro coincidano.
Inizialmente non l’ho sentito come una lettura piacevole, ma a mano a mano è diventato più interessante, ricordandomi delle varie scene del film.
Dunque sì, in confronto al film posso dire che è una delusione, ma mi è comunque piaciuto poiché mi ha ricordato delle varie scene del film.
Aggiungerò solamente che la traduzione non mi è piaciuta, talvolta presenta termini gergali e uno stile di scrittura informale.

Another sub-par book, although to be fair I expected nothing better. This was basically just a bitchy story about a girl with a terrible job/boss-and a series of specific anecdotes to prove it. None of the characters were likable, nobody was interesting, and there was no character development.
If you really to get a download of this story, just watch the movie-it's just as bad, but it doesn't require the same time investment.
I don't recommend this to anybody.
