The Manny Audiobook

" This was a cute story. It was a very quick read and the author had a style that was enjoyable to read. It was the kind of book that you would enjoy reading to relax, like on the beach. :) "

" Just good fun. "

" Read this on vacation - quick read for me! A little trash - which I like in a book ;oP trash = sex.. "

" There was a lot going on in this book. The story was good, though. "

" The interview with the author at the end of the book was the best part. "

" I know, I shouldn't even admit I read it, but I was desperate for something light (ok, that it was) and didn't realize I was walking into the shopaholic genre so unabashedly - it doesn't even pay to talk about how bad this book was; it would be like saying, I was reading Cosmo and you know, it was really shallow .... But I was thinking, Khay, that you and I often debate the merits of lets say, Olivia Goldsmith or even Maeve Binchy, I mean they're both very different but just in that some authors offer up a lighter read but it is still clever or original or something - so I don't think Goldsmith is total trash or Binchy is classic chick lit, and neither kills brain cells, whereas this book was one big eye roll after another. Aside from all the brand name dropping that only makes the book seem like SVH for grown ups who love to know what goes on behind closed mahogany doors along Park Avenue, this book pulled all the typical tricks to make morally questionable issues suddenly not so questionable. Snort. Well, it served its purpose, I guess, but I just wonder, is this where we're at now, that it's either weirdo post modern books or total wastes of ink?? "

" I loved this book! As silly as its contents are, I couldn't put it down. We should all have a manny like that! :) "

" This was really fun to read. "

" I gave this book 4 stars just for the sheer entertainment... very funny. A quick, easy read. "

" The fact that I'd already read this and didn't realize till I was halfway done speaks for the 2 stars. It was a fluff book, mildly entertaining but obviously forgetful. "

" Interesting and good. Had several funny moments but mostly a sad way of life.. "

" A quick read on a Midwest woman who married a NYC wasp. She isn't happy through most of the book as she tries to raise her three kids and needy husband. That's where the Manny comes in and saves the day. "

" While I enjoyed parts of this, it left me melancholy and depressed at the end. Would not read again. "

" Hmmm, I'd been wondering what happened to all our tax money that was given to the banks a few months ago. Now I know. "

" Very cute but fluffy book. It's just one of those mindless reads that's easy to pick up at the beach over the summer:) "

" Just a nice little beach read. "

" The book was trashier than I'm used to reading and also not as good as I expected (based on reading the synopsis). Also, it annoys me when editors don't pick out/fix typos in a book. "

" Predictably boring "

" Good book. Easy read about banker dad too busy for his family so his wife hires a male nanny to give her son a father figure. Interesting to see how the other half lives in NYC. "

" Cute, easy read when you need a no-brainer. "

" Although somewhat over the top, there are many things in this book that ring true from my observations of parents on the Upper East Side and elsewhere. However, I think it requires having lived there to really find it a fun read. "

" A fun book... like cotton candy at the beach. "

" Easy summer read, but not very memorable - you'll forget it a week after you read it. Pretty predictable but nonetheless entertaining. "

" great summer brain mush read. fun. "

" Excellent fluff for the mommy set. "

" Another $1 clearance shelf book. I really wanted this one to get better...but it never did. Too much detail in all the wrong places. And a chapter or two (other than the closet scene) from the Manny's perspective would have been a great touch. "

" a totally fun summer read...you will be rooting for the main character from the beginning! "

" This was the best beach read. "

" Ending was dumb and it made ME anxious to keep reading since there were so many twists and nothing ever happened or it was an overreaction or overthinking of something. It was a good short-ish read to just remind my brain I need something more indepth once in a while. "

" Okay chick-lit novel. What I found most interesting was its fun and witty description of the NY East side elite at their worst. "

" A look at how the other half lives. Cute story. "

" This book had some decent parts but overall, I couldn't wait for it to end so I could read something else. "

" Really enjoyed this. It wasn't just ridiculous fluff about the the fantastic lives of those living in the NYC "grid." There was a separate plot going on as well. "

" A very interesting look at how "the other half" lives. This book took a little while to get into and once it started going, I really got into it. "

" Quick, fun read! I enjoyed this book. Not going to win any awards, but it was entertaining. "

" If I could, I would give this 2.5 stars. Some parts kept me interested and other just drug on... "

" A quick read on a Midwest woman who married a NYC wasp. She isn't happy through most of the book as she tries to raise her three kids and needy husband. That's where the Manny comes in and saves the day. "

" This was a book club pick and I'm glad I read it, not one I would have picked out on my own and it was an entertaining summer read. "

" I could not stop myself from forcing to read this book. It was a slow start. And it was a slow read. I wanted more steam, more scandal. Why did I do this to myself. UGH! "

" The book was trashier than I'm used to reading and also not as good as I expected (based on reading the synopsis). Also, it annoys me when editors don't pick out/fix typos in a book. "
