What the Nanny Saw Audiobook

" I listened to the Tantor media audio edition of this book. I received it as a gift from the publisher. I enjoyed it a lot. Very good narrator. Very timely plot. Interesting look inside the lives of the rich and super rich. I enjoyed the characters. They were very full and felt very real. Good solid book. Wonderful audio presentation. "

" This book was an OK read, though the main character Ali was not very believable and I felt the author was using the characters in her own way, rather than staying true to them as "individuals" if that makes sense. It was one of those books that you kind of feel you have read before as it has many cliches, but its an OK "switch your brain off" type of read. However, I have to say that whilst I am not a prude, I do hate the use of the "c" word (the 4 letter one!) in a book, and it lent nothing to this book to use it more than once - like the author was just putting it in for the sake of it, which was disappointing and unnecessary. "

" Couldn't get interested in this book and finally gave up and quit reading it. "

" I appreciated the writing and the story line. At times I wished there was a bit more tension in the story to move it along. I am glad it had the foreshadowing in the beginning of the arrest and her providing information to a reporter or it may not have kept me intrigued until the end. In the end I was glad that I finished it and felt that the ending was realistic. I did find all the literary references a bit strange (or maybe just a bit over done. She was a literature major but that along with the financial information seemed to be more of an insert from Wikipedia or somewhere rather than it seamlessly flowing with the plot. Overall a good read that I would recommend. "

" Quick review: not loving it. The other lukewarm reviews express it well. I bought it, I wanted to like it, but I am finding it tedious. "

" An interesting enough story but I didn't connect with characters enough to enjoy it. I think cutting a couple of hundred pages would have created a livelier paced novel. "

" It took me 2-3 months to read this book and I have no idea why I kept trying with it. Not horribly written, not great. Not a horrible plot, not great. Not entirely loveable characters, but not horrid either. Meh. "

" it was ok, i got really into it, but then was a bit disappointed with the ending. still worth a read though "

" The inner workings of a rich family in London from the nanny's point of view was interesting enough reading. I didn't find the analysis of the banking meltdown that compelling, and feel the book could have been about 200 pages shorter. "

" really slow, too many unnecessary details, but picked up at the end. I skimmed a lot. "

" I was a big fan of SLUMMY MUMMY so I have been really looking forward to reading this book. It was excellent. I loved all the characters and I especially liked how the plot developed. By the end, I was completely sucked in. Very enjoyable. "

" Enjoyable - listened to it on CD and narrator was particularly good - actually learned a lot about banks collapsing in 2008. Ended somewhat abruptly though and seemed a bit rushed at end to wrap things up - almost needed a sequel "

" I wanted to like this book. It was slow moving and the ending was pretty anticlimactic. I wanted more twists and turns and less backstory. "

" Fluctuated between boring and intriguing. What the nanny ultimately saw was not a big reveal. Poorly named, more like The Nanny Diaries 2. "

" Pretty boring and badly written. Thought it would be a fun summer read and it wasn't worth it. "

" This book held my interest however it rates an F in character development. So many books these days are so surface-y when it comes to characters and this one is no different. I felt mostly indifferent to them. "

" Interesting perspective. Good character development. "

" Didn't enjoy the detailed financial mumbo jumbo, I don't think that added much to the story. I was a bit disappointed as it sounded like a good chick lit read but it none of the characters were really that likable and I wasn't really caring about what happened to them after the big "scandal". "

" This was a book about the financial crash of 2008, but was mostly about families, class, relationships, gender roles and more. Very thought-provoking with some funniness thrown in. I liked it very much. It would make a great book discussion book. "
