Free Worldwide Delivery : The Devil Wears Prada : Paperback : HarperCollins Publishers : 9780007156108 : 0007156103 : 01 Apr 2007 : A sharp, witty and hugely entertaining novel, The Devil Wears Prada has become a generation-defining bestselling classic.

This clever, funny big-screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's best-seller takes some of the snarky bite out of the chick lit book, but smoothes out the characters' boxy edges to make a more satisfying movie. There's no doubt The Devil Wears Prada belongs to Meryl Streep, who turns in an Oscar®-worthy (seriously!) strut as the monster editor-in-chief of Runway, an elite fashion magazine full of size-0, impossibly well-dressed plebes. This makes new second-assistant Andrea (Anne Hathaway), who's smart but an unacceptable size 6, stick out like a sore thumb. Streep has a ball sending her new slave on any whimsical errand, whether it's finding the seventh (unpublished) Harry Potter book or knowing what type she means when she wants "skirts." Though Andrea thumbs her nose at the shallow world of fashion (she's only doing the job to open doors to a position at The New Yorker someday), she finds herself dually disgusted yet seduced by the perks of the fast life. The film sends a basic message: Make work your priority, and you'll be rich and powerful... and lonely. Any other actress would have turned Miranda into a scenery-chewing Cruella, but Streep's underplayed, brilliant comic timing make her a fascinating, unapologetic character. Adding frills to the movie's fun are Stanley Tucci as Streep's second-in-command, Emily Blunt (My Summer of Love) as the overworked first assistant, Simon Baker as a sexy writer, and breathtaking couture designs any reader of Vogue would salivate over. -- Ellen A.

A drastic improvement on Lauren Weisberger's bestselling novel THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA showcases Meryl Streep's knack for combining humor and sadness. While likely inspired by notorious VOGUE editor Anna Wintour Streep's Miranda Priestly head of Runway magazine is entirely her own creation. Sporting silvery hair a vast collection of fur coats an encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashionable and a killer smile Miranda is full of wicked charm. With her mature beauty and commanding presence Miranda is as fascinating to watch as she is intimidating to the constant rotation of assistants thrown her way. When bookish Northwestern grad Andy Sachs Anne Hathaway interviews to become Miranda's newest lackey Miranda hires her not for her lackluster wardrobe but for her intellect. Inside the pristine Runway offices Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks and is the subject of constant harassment by Miranda's jealous first assistant Emily Blunt. But to the dismay of her boyfriend Adrian Grenier and close friends Andy slowly finds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion and by Miranda herself. While Andy's transformation comes largely in the form of new designer clothing the makeover is mental as well. What starts out as a firm belief in fashion's vapidity and in Miranda's heartlessness gradually fades into the suspicion that the boss from hell might just be hiding a soul. While the book villainized its title character the film gives new depths to her wrath. As Andy trades her undergrad wardrobe for one packed with Prada and Chanel with help from Stanley Tucci in a brilliant role viewers are able to savor the work of costume designer Patricia Field. Together with director David Frankel who also worked on SEX AND THE CITY Field creates a world of fashion so wonderfully extreme it would be hard for anyone to resist.
