My goal every summer is to read as many books as I can. Sometimes these books are thought-provoking and emotional--The Bluest Eye. Sometimes they are longer than most--The Help. Sometimes they are a fun summer read--The Outcast. The Devil Wears Prada falls into the last category. I have read Weisberger's modern novel a few times now. I have to admit that I saw the movie first, several years ago. But like most, the novel is a hundred times better.
The Devil Wears Prada follows the story of Andrea Sachs, an employee as a personal assistant at the fictional Runway magazine. Andy is forced to endure some rather difficult and humiliating (to say the least) "tasks" as she hopes to climb her way up the literary world's ladder. Andy must often make the choice of job or her personal life. Some of the scenes have the reader dumbfounded at the ridiculousness of the Runway world.
