Remember, there is no Meryll Streep in this book. So most of the enjoyment gained from the movie is void in its literary version.
A nice quick read! Was a huge fan of the movie, so it was fun to compare to the screenwriter’s version. Reading the sequel next!

I love the movie so much and I've watched it countless times. The book wasn't as iconic to me, but I didn't expect it to live up to it. Miranda is so much worse in the book wow. In the movie the boyfriend is to me a villain, but here he is.. alright.

Weisberger, Lauren: Paholainen pukeutuu Pradaan (The Devil Wears Prada, 2003)

- Jooh. Suomennos sai vannomaan, et luen jatkossa enkuksi. Leffassa vähän pehmeempi Miranda ja erilainen loppu. Vois kai sanoo, et kirja oli parempi, mut ei järjettömästi. Tää ny oli tälläi yleissivistävä lukeminen, et enhän mä yleensä tämmösestä chick litistä ees kiinnostu.

This was a book that has sat on my shelf for a long time and has survived a few moves now. I decided to pick it up and read it given I want to make room for new books. I knew the general story already, for I have watched the movie a few times now; who doesn't like Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep?
This book kept me interested from beginning to end and was a good final summer read for me. There were some things not in the movie, but were in the book, like her alcoholic best friend Lily. That story I honestly felt could have been handled better or simply left out altogether. Her boyfriend, Alex was annoying in the book and I was relieved when they ultimately parted ways. First loves and college relationships generally never last in the long run, unless you somehow magically evolve together.
I liked the dynamic between Andrea and Miranda. I loved how she pronounced my name correctly in the book! It tickled me each and every time I read it. Christian I liked a lot and wished she had reached out to him or slept with him like she did in the movie.
However, there were a few minor editing flaws I caught. A she should have been a he and there were a few times where the writing didn't make sense from the previous paragraph. That annoyed me, especially since this is probably a popular book by now. Hence I gave a reduction in stars for the poor editing.
Overall, this is a book about navigating the tough world of fashion and finding your right path, a feel good story in the end ultimately.
