The Devil Wears Prada Book Review | Is the Book Better Than the Film?

This week on The Dad Book Club, we're reading The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger—the bestselling novel that inspired the iconic film starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. But here's the confession: I had absolutely no idea it was a book.

Often remembered as a glamorous story about the fashion industry, The Devil Wears Prada is actually a sharp workplace satire about toxic bosses, career ambition, burnout, and what happens when your job starts taking over your life. We explore the differences between the book and the film, why Miranda Priestly is even more terrifying on the page, and whether Andrea Sachs is as sympathetic as audiences remember.

We discuss the novel's portrayal of office culture, the pressures of success, work-life balance, and why so many readers—and viewers—see their own careers reflected in Andrea's journey through the world of high fashion.

Plus, we answer the big question: is The Devil Wears Prada one of those rare cases where the film is actually better than the book?

Join us as we dive into one of the most famous book-to-film adaptations ever made and discover whether this modern classic deserves its legendary reputation.
