Summary: Ok I'm telling everyone about....
Review: this book because it's a great read. Stayed up till 1:30 to finish it. Yes I found it more depressing than funny. Yes the ending left something to be desired, but the story itself is so compelling it more than makes up for the flaws. As to the point that someone so involved in a family's domestic life shouldn't be writing tell-alls, I say, shut-up. Stay home with your kids or don't have any.

Summary: A waste
Review: Lately, I have been unable to find a book that could captivate my attention. After reading wonderful reviews of this book, I had my sister take me to buy it. Big mistake. I took me two days to read it, because the entire time I was hoping the book would eventually get better. Big surprise- it didn't.

Summary: Not classic literature but...
Review: ...it's not meant to be. There isn't a dull, wasted paragraph in this book; it kept me entertained for the single half-day it took to read it.The characters are surprisingly three dimensional, even the least redeemable of the main characters had a moment or two that I felt pity for them.

Summary: Public relations firm hyping mediocre book
Review: It is annoying that so many of the reviews are written and hyped by the same person. "Heartfelt, laughed and cried, page-turner." Pleeeeease. I am in awe of the successful P.R. effort but after reading the book, you'll feel very disappointed. Note to overzealous P.R. firm: Let the book rise or fall on its own merits without pumping it.

Summary: Depressing!
Review: I bought this book on a lark. Thought it would be fun, humorous and take my mind off some things. Instead, I wondered into a mock world where no one cares about anyone but themselves. The nanny is as unpleasant and nasty as the subjects she humiliates. No winners in this one.

Summary: Utter [garbage]
Review: Yes folks it's true - women who hire nannies are neurotic weirdos. This book mysteriously focusses very little on what Grayer's father could be doing to improve his child's upbringing. No doubt this is just the kind of utter garbage that will be stuffed down our throats by Hollywood in the near future. Well it is choking me.

Summary: Beautifully written and hilarous
Review: I could not put this book down. McLaughlin and Kraus have written a compelling, intelligent page-turner that kept me laughing late into the night. Their satire of the Upper East Side nouveau riche set rings scarily true (I grew up there too, so I've seen a lot of such behavior), and my heart aches for the hundreds of love-deprived childern and sleep-deprived nannies out there.

Summary: Reads like Sweet Valley High book
Review: This book is terrible. It's their first attempt at a book and reads like it too. The descriptions of characters and scenes are similar to something a high school level student would write for an English 101 essay. It's a waste of time.

Summary: The Nanny Diaries
Review: A voueristic look into the life of a manhattan socialite....Overall this book was extremely entertaining. The book is sad in the sense that there are plenty of children out there whose lives this book mirrors. It's horrible to think there are parents out there like this. This book is a good read, not the highest quality writing, but entertaining nonetheless.
