Synopsis Written by a former Vogue staff writer, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA is about Andrea Sachs, a staffer at a trendy fashion magazine in Manhattan whose boss, the eponymous Prada-wearer, treats Andrea like a cross between a galley slave and a retarded child. As things get worse, Andrea must decide whether she will allow the devil to steal her soul--or find the strength to quit.

Industry Reviews "Weisberger writes with humor and authority, but her plot circles like a whirlpool...." Kirkus Reviews (02/15/2003)
"A Judith Krantz for the new millennium! Lauren Weisberger has produced a work of trash fiction of such unimpeachable quality--I enjoyed every page--that the golden girls can hang up their spurs....Weisberger writes with the passionate intensity of a ninth-grader whose pride has been wounded, and I forgive her much....[N]othing can hurt a book like this...; a career has begun." Atlantic Monthly - Caitlin Flanagan
"It's hard to get past the onslaught of Page Six gossip and film-rights buzz that has preceded THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, Lauren Weisberger's thinly veiled roman à clef about her thankless year sidetracked in the trenches of a fashion magazine. Start with a Mommy Dearest premise featuring our most famous fashion editor, add an irresistible title and throw in a six-figure movie deal--does it even matter what's actually on the page when everybody is reading between the lines?" New York Times Book Review - Kate Betts (04/13/2003)
