Lively, interesting story, performed by Julia Roberts.
ISBN: 0553714759 - Abridged, 3 cassettes, 5 hours. Read by Julia Roberts
I enjoyed this audio more than I anticipated. I started to read the book but couldn't get into it and put it down. Then I found the audio and thought I'd give it a try. I gave up on the book too soon! I can't say that I was thrilled about Julia Roberts as the reader, but I did like the humoruous and sometimes poignant story of a young woman who takes a nanny position to an overprivileged, selfish, upper-class couple. It reminded me of the book "The Devil Wears Prada" with the subject being childcare instead of fashion.

Julia Roberts reads it in her familiar voice. Not a bad story up until the ending.

Nanny works for a family that truly drives her beyond the call of duty. Her love for their child keeps her going during her tense time with the X family. Decent book, made me glad I'm not a nanny.

I wasn't sure that I would like this, but it was very sweet and kind of sad. I saw the movie, and the book is much better in my opinion. I really liked Julia Roberts as the narrator. She wasn't annoying to listen to at all.
Great book about a nanny's account working for a rich family in New York.
