Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a hoot!
Review: I couldn't put this book down. The humorous moments were balanced by the seriousness of her job and the love she had for the children. Her deep and sincere concern for her charges, even when they misbehaved or turned against her was evident throughout the book. Her innermost thoughts were revealed through her journal notations, which allows the reader the opportunity to understand what it's really like to live the life of the rich and famous.

I know there is more that was left unsaid, let's hear from you again, Suzy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read!!
Review: I had an extremly hard time putting this book down. I gobbled it up within a week. I was sad when it ended as it was my couch companion when ever I got a chance to sit down and read it without hearing , "mmmmmooooommmmmy!!!!!!"

I laughed so hard when she scraped the truck down an inch. I was afraid for her life when she went to get her nails done. I could feel my own face tingle when she treated herself to a day of torture at the spa. You just cannot wait to see what happens next! This book is so entertaining. It will make you laugh, shake your head in disbelief at these rich people (but then again...), cry, and laugh some more! You don't have to be a nanny to relate to some of this. We've all got a skeleton in our baby sitting closets. I know I do! LOL! It just made reading this even funnier. Then again the Swartz' made my short lived stint with one family look like the Cleavers.

I was hooked from the directors commentary. Don't wait a minute longer. Go out and get this book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A very enjoyable and infomative read!
Review: I had no idea that people so wealthy could be so cheap. I loved seeing the lives of the rich and famous through the eyes of a young naive girl. I kept having to remind myself that this really happened. I highly recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I bought this book after a nanny conference... loved it!!!!
Review: I heard Suzanne speak at a nanny conference that I attended a few months ago. After hearing her read parts of her book at the conference, I knew that I needed to buy it (I guess that may have been part of her purpose for reading it aloud to us in the first place, LOL). Well, it worked, I bought the book and I'm glad that I did. It was very funny and I was sad when it ended (like I always am when I read a good book and feel like I "know the characters"). I liked this book soooo much better than the Nanny Diaries.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I laughed out loud
Review: I laughed out loud several times while reading this book. It is both fun and a really unique story. You won't be sorry!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What goes around, comes around....
Review: I love this book! I am almost done with it, could not put it down for days to the point of taking the bus so I could read instead of walking to and from work like I normally do! I had already guessed, like another reader, that the Swartz's were really the Ovitz's and in a blog online there is an actual reference to a story about how Ovitz's son peed in the front yard and then told the nanny that she was not his boss! You don't hear much about old Mike these days! Maybe he should have been nicer to Suzanne!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT READ
Review: I loved this book. Descriptive, funny, and sad all at the same time. I loved reading the accounts of different celebrities Suzanne met; Bill Murray comes across as great, as does Sally Field, Debra Winger, Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman. Ditto Tom Cruise. It's an experience that is fun to read about, but I'm glad I didn't go through it!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY hard to put down - SAD to finish it
Review: I loved this book. Possibly since I am from Eugene I overly enjoyed the constrast written between the two worlds. But overall, as an avid reader (5+ a week) I can honestly say this has been my most favorite summer read yet this year.

If you liked Nanny Diaries, if you are a Nanny, want to be a Nanny or are a Mom who just loves/needs to laugh over what others will do as a caregiver (the scene where the parents don't even know how many naps the child takes.........) - this is the book for you. A nanny story that relates to stay at home moms.

GET THIS BOOK - NOW!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Entertaining Read!
Review: I saw this author interviewed on the E! Channel during the Red Carpet preview, before the SAG awards. I was looking forward to a little Hollywood Gossip, instead I got to travel with the young women on a both hilarious and sad journey. This book provided me with many hours of enjoyment and I have passed it along to a friend to read.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not that funny and a little depressing.
Review: I thought this book would be fun to read, but I found it to be poorly written and a little depressing. It was a disappointing book, especially since it had the potential to be very funny.

The book was depressing, because she seemed so miserable through 3/4 of the book. I would not recommend this book.
