question:
Functional and Fun; The New Knitting Book . I LOVED this book. I picked it up on a whim and spent the next two hours reading and laughing. The patterns are fun and these girls are so funny. I think this is a great book to have in my library. It has several patterns that I really want to make as gifts and I think even the book would make a great gift to any knitter
answer:
POS


question:
Writer is a cad . I expected this book to be fun take on the Hollywood nanny experience where the reader can peek at the "other side" and perhaps try to guess who might be the real people behind the pseudonyms.  Nope.  Susanne Hansen is a cad who betrays her former employers (and her nanny friends' employers) by exposing their private family dynamics for entertainment and ridicule.  It would have been much, MUCH better had she changed names and focused more on the celebrity lifestyle gossipy end of it than in her own boring self-examinations and snotty judgements.  In every page she obsesses over wealth and then condemns the very people whose assets she admires.  She seems to think that shallow and neglectful parenting is something only to be found in the nanny-hiring set.  There was no joy in reading this book once I realized that while she may have changed the children's names, the names of the parents were quite real.  It puts the lie to how much she felt for her charges that she would so humiliate their parents in pursuit of the almighty dollar

NEG
