Summary: an unbelievable book
Review: This book was truly unbelievable. It was incredibly funny yet poignant and full of humanity. As I laughed and laughed I also started to feel extremely sad for little Grayer. I cried at the end also. I dont think the ending is bad, I just think that that is unfortunately the way that reality is and creating a happy ending would not have made this book as salient of a satire as it is.

Summary: The Nanny Diaries
Review: The authors did an extraordinary job of balancing a real life occurance into a story written with humor and delicate sensitivity. I literally could not put it down. I was captivated by the style of writing and how it intertwined truth and such compasion in the main character of "Nanny." She was so real and it was clearly understood what her true self was devoted to and why she put up with such outragous abuse while doing her job. She was truly a heroin and I applaude her!

Summary: I can't remember when I laughed so hard
Review: I swear this book was written about my former boss. She was Mrs. X to a T, from having a very busy day (doing what?) to stocking the pantry with organic everything. Her nanny was forever asked to do some of the things that Nanny in the book is and then Mrs. X would get exasperated about not being able to find competent help. This is the kind of book you shouldn't read before going to bed, it's too funny and you'll never be able settle down to sleep.

Summary: hysterically funny and tragically sad
Review: I read this book at one sitting (staying up until 5am to finish it!). While it was really, really funny in many places, I kept reminding myself that it was actually very sad. I wish some of the moms out there who never spend time with their kids would read this and see themselves and be ashamed.

Summary: Like Watching a train wreck that runs out of a steam
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. The writing was sharp and the story a fun insight into modern upperclass New York City life. Mrs. X is cold and unsympathetic of course. Nan's grandma is warm and wonderful. I looked forward to reading this book every chance I got to see what Nan would have to put up with next and if there'd be any bombshell showdowns. However, without spoiling it for others, I wasn't satisfied with the story's contrived climax or ending. Still, I would recommend this book to read.

Summary: Fast read... hilarious and sweet...guys, don't bother
Review: McLaughlin and Kraus have enlightened the dark interiors of limos, high rise apartments, and the machinations of a heartless woman, Mrs. X, who relies erroneously on what "looks" good. The pricier, the better. She is one who will spend thousands for the "right" shopping bag. Throughout the text, you just want to slap her silly. Trouble with that is the fact that she is so remote and doesn't light long enough to get off a good whack. But then it wouldn't be anymore fun.These two authors have also touched on the romance and whimsy of meetings by chance that are far more tintlilating in one's imagination than are ever in real life. All the above makes for great escapist reading. I have known Nanny. She is a well-meaning, hard-working college girl who knows she will move past this brief horror flick of an existence and land on her feet. What is sad, is that I know several Mrs. X wannabees. Several are very lucky: they surrounded by an old and faithful coterie of friends who are quick to knock them off their high horses before they are able to make complete fools of themselves. This kind of behavior is not pretty in the real world. The good news: there are far more "nannies" in this world than there are Mrs. Xes'.

Summary: Interesting, exasperating and nothing near its namesake
Review: Smoothly read, it is an interesting read but nothing near the Bridget Jones books. Its not funny. Actually it's quite sad.
Really not worth it.
(this is about the audio version of the book)

Summary: This is a terrific book!
Review: I have enjoyed reading "The Nanny Diaries". The comical character Nanny really deals with some typical nanny issues, as well as ones that I thankfully have never dealt with. Bravo Emma and Nicola! This book really is for anyone that enjoys laughing.
