Reading Log: The Nanny Diaries

more info from Amazon
more info on B&N

Impressions:
-- I assumed it would be a lite reading or a chick lit selection. More along the lines of The Devil Wears Prada (I need to read that too).
-- Quite good. Some pretty funny lines. I wanted an H.H. myself.
-- Some parts are iffy. I think the whole characterization of Mrs. X (and the whole society) as the ultimate bitch can be over bearing. I got a little tired of it. It was a little too she's [Mrs. X] evil and I'm [Nan] not.
-- The plot and charcters are sometimes too narrow and trite. I guess it's the in-between that really draws the readers in.

Rating:
B to B+
