Summary: This book is terrible
Review: The first three books were good, but when this one came out it was a big dissapointment because it was so ...ultra boring.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book was good
Review: I am a huge fan of the princess diary series. I read the first book two days after it was released and then was hooked. This book brings Micheal and Mia together but apart for a portion of the book. Grandmere of course has to stick her nose in Mia's business. And just when we think the princess lessons are over Mia messes up and grandmere enforces them longer. I recommend reading ALL the books first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Sequel!
Review: The fourth book in the Princess Diaries series, this one continued right where "Princess In Love" left off. Mia has been spending her winter break in Genovia so she could be formally introduced to Genovians. However, Genovians have never seen a princess like Mia- who believed that Genovia needs public parking meters because of traffic and parking problems! Mia dosen't enjoy it that much in Genovia, especially because she couldn't see her new boyfriend Michael, who she has been in love with forever. Mia only got to speak to Michael a couple of times on the phone, and she had been counting the days down in her journal until winter break is over and she can see Michael again. When Mia gets back to Genovia, Michael finally asks her out on a date to the movies! But then once again, Mia found out she couldn't go because Grandmere (as usual) wanted her to go to a black-and-white ball the exact same day as her date with Micheal! Not only that, but Mia is depressed because now she's afraid Micheal is going to dump her for not going, she figures out herself she has no special talent, and when Lily tells her she does, Mia spends all her time trying to figure it out! However, the ending is one of the best parts of the story- where everything turns out okay in the end.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Repetition
Review: I have loved all of the princess diaries books up until the 4th one. The book just ended up being the same story over over and over. Nothing special really happens and its an okay read i guess. Basically, its 'I love Micheal!!!' and 'I hate princess lessons!!!' and that's it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FUNNY!
Review: I love all of the princess diaries books they are all fabulous!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Interesting!
Review: I love this book! Mia has finally gotten her luv, cept she's in Genovia and he's in Florida! Will their love survive the distance? Maybe... Cabot's blunt style of portraying characters in her story is hilarious and so true, that it makes you cringe!! The paving is very good and I loved this book so much, I finished it in one sitting!! = ] I absolutely loved the ending... Get this book!!! It's worth your time and money!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Star!
Review: Meg writes another hit.

Princess Mia is in turmoil over whether her boyfirend loves her or is in love with her while arguing over issues like getting parking meters in Genovia and what to say to Prince William at a Polo tourniment. I found Mia's activities in Genovia and her cousin Rene highly amusing.

Her obsession over whether Micheal really loved her got old after awhile but that's what real teenagers are like. We obsess over stupid things.

What I really liked were the Jane Eyre concepts, Mia and Lillie's lists, and Mia's struggle over what her hiddden talent was, when it really was staring her right in the face.

All in all this was a WONDERFUL book. I loved it as much as all the others. And I can't wait for the fifth Princess Diaries book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Princess In Waiting
Review: This is a great book and I loved it. Every thing is funny, sweet, cute, etc etc etc! I still think Princess in Love is the best, though. I recommend that you dont read this book until you have read the first three in the series since the book and the movie are TOTALLY different, down to the characters. So if you want to really understand and like this book, read the first three in the series (Princess Diaries, Princess in the Spotlight, and Princess In Love) This whole series is my favorite series and the movie (The Princess Diaries) is my favorite. ENJOY!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun Book
Review: Okay, i admit, i read it in about 1/2 an hour cause it wasn't too mind-taxing & when i was finished reading i forgot it. Better reads are two of my faves Shadow Horse and Return of the Gypsy Witch by Alison HArt. LOTS OF PLOT. checkthemout.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The series seems to be losing steam
Review: I loved Meg Cabot's first two Princess Mia books, enjoyed the third one, and anxiously awaited the arrival of the fourth one. So I read Princess in Waiting with a feeling I must reluctantly call "disappointment." It simply seems that these books are running out of steam.

The coverage of Mia's time in Genovia (learning to be a proper princess) was amusing, and there were some wonderful inside jokes about a TV movie of her life that were clearly directed at the Disney movie version of the first book in the series.

The characters were all there, doing what they always do -- Mia making witty, mildly angst-ridden comments on life and high school, Grandmere chewing up the scene whenever she appears, Lily being upset about something, Tina being romantic and mildly drippy, Boris playing the violin and tucking his sweater into his pants, and Michael being utterly too good to be true. The elements were all there -- the diary device (though how Mia gets as much writen is bathrooms, during classes, and standing around in hallways as she does is beyond me), the lists she makes with Lily, the inserted IM conversations. But compared to the others in the series, this book just seemed flat.

Perhaps Ms. Cabot is streching herself too thin (with this series, the Mediator series, All Americal Girl, and the romance novels she writes for both teens and adults.) If she truly, as she says on her website, hopes to follow Mia though all four years of high school, she may want to pick up the pace a bit. Because at the current rate, readers may lose interest in Mia long before she goes to college, joins Greenpeace, or takes over the governing of a small European principality.
