Finished reading the book already, good read. Very interesting to see how the rich people live well at least the rich ones in NY. Makes me think about my own relationship with the kids. Well, at least I don't leave notes around the house for my maid on monogrammed stationery.
Found out that they even have a movie out starring, Scarlett Johansson. Nice! I have always loved reading a book then go watch the movie.I know most people prefer it the other way round, but I still prefer reading the original thing first before watching the adaptation. I find it interesting to watch how they transform the idea of the authors into the movie. Whether or not they have chosen the right casts, the set, costumes etc etc. I like it. Can't wait to watch the movie.
If you are like me, book first before the movie, below is the sysnopsis of the book for your preview...Synopsis :
Wanted:One young woman to take care of four-year-old boy. Must be cheerful, enthusiastic and selfless--bordering on masochistic. Must relish sixteen-hour shifts with a deliberately nap-deprived preschooler. Must love getting thrown up on, literally and figuratively, by everyone in his family. Must enjoy the delicious anticipation of ridiculously erratic pay. Mostly, must love being treated like fungus found growing out of employers Hermès bag. Those who take it personally need not apply. Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day. When the Xs marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity and, most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude. - From the Publisher [from : http://www.candycoveredbooks.com/].
No, I still have not finished ... The Guy Not Taken by Jennifer Weiner.
My next book, just bought it at Times Bookshop, found it at the 25% off pile of books ... A Crowded Marriage by Catherine Alliot.
I am so torn, should I finish the JW book first or start on my fresh really thick new one?
