“I enjoyed Nanny Diaries very much, but the person I felt the most sorry for was Grayer! Watching people come and go in his life, his parents ignore him, no one to really bond to. You could see how he blossomed with Nanny taking care of him, and the mother is so cruel! Yes, the book was very funny, but the downside really brings you down. I also didn't like the ending. Nothing is really resolved. It ends exactly the way it begins.”
“If I were the nanny I definitley would have tried to poison the mother. The video in the teddybear is just over the top creepy.”
“okay, I have now finished it,,, I really enjoyed it. Very upsetting at times, I really felt for the wee guy. I gather from previous comments that the movie does not do it justice.”
“I have just started this story, it seems quite good, but I am wondering whether it actually goes anywhere?”
““If you loved this book like I did, DON'T go see the movie!!!””
“While over all a good read I was disappointed in the ending. There was no "big tell off;" it was simply a whimper. I know most things in life end in a whimper, but sometime it really should end with a bang this should have been one of them.”
“I read this book expecting to get a good laugh, but instead found a very dark tale about a girl who discovers the struggles of being a nanny for New York high society. While the novel is very well written and quickly grabs one's interest, I didn't find the book at all funny.”
“Not a favorite but a good read for the plane, long car ride, or vacation. The movie was cute! ”
