It's somehow more saddening than satisfying when you finish a good book. The Nanny Diaries had been in my possession for far too long, sitting on a shelf, untouched, in a dark corner of my closet. Only after reading Mary Poppins recently, being in full "nanny mode," did I decide to give The Nanny Diaries a go. I couldn't put it down. And when I did put it down, I wished I had more time for it. I wouldn't call it "diabolically funny" as the New York Times did. It was comical, don't get me wrong. But overall, I felt for Nanny. I felt for little Grayer. And in some way I felt for the X's being so caught up in their own lives, that aren't so luxurious after, that they were too blind to see their own wonderful child nor the happiness Nanny brought to him. And though movies never come out on top of the books they portray, I plan on getting TND on DVD soon.
