Even though I don’t like easy reading books anymore, the movie of the book is very famous and fashionable now. And I have to post it in my very own style.
The Devil Wears Prada is a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger about a young woman who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to a powerful fashion magazine editor that turns increasingly hellish as she struggles to keep up with her boss’s capricious and demeaning requests. The book was hugely successful, spending six months on the New York Times bestseller list.
A prime example of "chick lit," the novel was widely seen as a roman à clef about Vogue magazine and its iconic editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, since Weisberger worked there as an intern. Although she denies the story’s editor is modeled on Wintour, many readers believed otherwise, which helped propel the book to the bestseller list.
A film based on the novel, starring Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway, was released in summer 2006.
