Summary: what happened?
Review: Mia is in love with Josh. He drinks heavily, is a senior, is insanely egotistical, and doen't give a @%$*. Mia is absurdely uncomfortable with her surroundings. She freezes up anytime anyone she "likes" is around. I liked the first half of the book, but it went downward from there.

Summary: Teenage cliché
Review: Despite "The Princess Diaries" popular acclaim-and not critical claim-this book is one to be avoided. Being a high school student myself, I resent Cabot's obviously aged interpretation of high schoolers and high school in general. Because she is not in high school, characters in "The Princess Diaries" fall victim to just about every teenage cliché there is. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: not what i expected
Review: This book was not what I expected because I had seen the movie beforehand, and there are a lot of major changes. Mia Thermoplis is a regular teenager, failing algebra and drooling of Josh, the hottest guy in school who's going out with Lana, the snobbiest chearleader of the bunch. When Mia finds out she is really a princess of Genovia, her Grandmere comes to give her princess lessons.
When the press finds Mia, they are extremely agraviated. To see what happens, if Mia will accept being the Crown Princess of Genovia, read this book.

Summary: Tells about a tale of a Princess's life...
Review: Mia gets a journal from her mother because it seems that Mia cannot be actually honest with her about things. For example, the fact that Mia cannot tell her mother about she truly feels upset about her mom (Helen Thermopolis) starting to go out with her ninth-grade Algebra teacher, Mr. Gianni. Mia has trouble in Algebra and she even has to attend review sessions for Algebra after school! She has a best friend named Lilly Moscivitz, who has her own cable access national prime-time television show, LILLY TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, which is on Friday nights at nine p.m.
Mia also has a HUGe crush on the most cutest and gorgeous and most popular senior guy named Josh Richter. At first, I had seen the movie then read the book. The book is more interesting, in VERY different way. So, Mia thinks that Josh likes her and looked into her soul this one day when she and Lilly were at this place called Bigelows and Mia even got the cologne there that Josh uses all the time!
Well, it turns out that she is a princess. Yes, Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis-Renaldo. She starts to have princess lessons at the Plaza Hotel in her Grandmere's suite. So everything in the suite is like, all PINK. Her dad comes into town from Genovia (which is located between the France and Italian border near the Mediterranean Sea, but it is made up, though) and tells her that he is actually the prince of Genovia and she is his HEIR.
Then Mia got really mad and ran real fast out of the Plaza to this Penguin House like, miles away. Then this lady named Carol Fernandez called Mia a "statesque beauty" of Helen Thermopolis and Phillipe Renaldo. Or, Artur Christoff Phillipe Gerard Grimaldi Renaldo. Mia gets her hair much shorter, gets fake fingernails with superglue, and now looks like Lana Weinberger! Who is her total rival and is Josh's girlfriend.
Finally Josh Richter asks Mia to the Cultural Diversity Dance and turns out that he had obviously done it because he can have his picture with the Genovian princess -worth three-hundred million dollars!- on Extra or Teen People or some other magazine.
When Mia and Lilly got in a fight about Mia's new hairdo, Mia ends sitting next to Tina Hakim Baba, who has a bodyguard named Wahim and loves to read teenage romance novels. And Mia one time puts this Nutty Royale at lunchtime on Lana's cheerleading sweater!
This was a really good book. The first is much better to me than the second and third combined! If you saw the movie, but didn't read it yet, then I suggest that you should read it. If you are bored and have nothing to do.

Summary: a masterpiece!!!...
Review: this is a terrific book for 11+. though the movie's based on the book, there are many differences(if the movie had been just like the book, it probably would have been rated pg-13, but please don't let that stupid comment keep you from reading the book). a major difference is that mia's dad has cancer, but he's already gone into remission before the book even starts, so he's still alive.

Summary: Finally, a book for teens that teens will actually read
Review: This was a good book. For one thing, it was relatic. Mia life isn't perfect, and while she tries to be socially conusis, she sometimes fails. so what? shes a teen, she's human, not perfect.as for the story? if you enjoyed the watered down, kid 'friendly' movie, you might like this. if you hated the message the movie sent you, then you'll defintly love this book. check out the sequals as well, they're just as good

Summary: Poorly Pessimistic
Review: This book was wonderful. It had a great story line and series of events. However, Mia's character was incredibly pessimistic. She had such a narrow veiw of the world! You would think that someone that concerned about the less fortunate would appreciate the things that she has more because many do not.I found her unbelievably self-centered and selfish, no matter how "enviromentally friendly" she was. The thing is, she never looked on the bright side of things. Okay, so her hair looked like a triangle. Oh well! Very Vain. Also, WHY does being 5'10" make her a freak??? and what is wrong with big feet? Alot of people have large feet nowadays, and what is wrong with being tall? Many glamorous people are. Models are. That was the main stickler about this book. If Mia was just a tad more positive, this book would be good.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I loved this book. I started reading it based on the recommendation of my friend, thinking it was just going to be an OK book. But once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! The characters are vividly portrayed, and the story is very engaging. You'll find yourself begging for more at the end. (Some people have complained about questionable content, and to some extent, I agree with them- this book is not for below middle school age kids.) Overall, though, this is a great book for teens and adults alike.
