Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Nanny Diaries: A Novel

Book Review: "Life" in the rarified air of the upper social strata
Summary: 4 Stars

Since truth IS stranger than fiction, I'm inclined to believe that this book is definitely based on fact, regardless of its opening disclaimer.

It's hard NOT to dislike the X's, and in my case, their bratty Grayson. What I found hard to believe was that Nan put up with it for so long.... but then, when you're young and idealistic, you tend more towards martyrdom than you would as an older and wiser individual. Or, perhaps Nan was a glutton for punishment.

I did, however, admire Nan's sardonic, WICKED sense of humor and her ability to adapt and survive. This is ALOT more than I could say for the X's, who had everything ....but... really DIDN'T.

I found the panty hunt hilarious, the food fight chilling, and the Halloween party hysterical.

And, in the end, I was VERY glad that Grace prevailed.
