Twenty-three year old Andrea Sachs dreams of writing for The New Yorker. Fresh out of college, she lands a job in Manhattan as assistant to the powerful Miranda Priestly, editor of the successful fashion magazine Runway. Although her writing abilities won't be utilized, all Andrea hears from everyone she meets is that she's landed the job "a million girls would die for." Supposedly, "people who worked for Miranda got places." The position is more of a college-educated messenger. But if Andrea can hang in there for 1 year, she's sure to get a great promotion. However, 1 year as Miranda's personal gopher won't be that easy. Miranda's like Cruella DeVil from Disney's Dalmatian movies. She's insensitive, demanding and just "cruel."This had the makings of a hilarious book, but just failed to pull it off. Better luck next time.
