Summary: Princess Diaries
Review: I read princess diaries and noticed some considerable changes from the move. For one thing her (Mia)dad is still alive. However the elements in this book were probably best left in the book and not on the silver screen. She talks a lot about her bod changing and how her mom is going out with her algebra teacher. then Mia gets the surprise that i'm sure we have all wished for: her dad is the crowned prince of Genovia, a little country with about 100,000 people. So, Mia concludes as the news sinks in that if her dad is the Prince then she must be a princess.
In this delightful comedy watch Mia as she battles it out with her grandmere(who is giving her princess lessons) and dream about a popular boy who may nly like her for her throne tittle. This book spells amazing it was soo funny and exciting i couldn't put it down.

Summary: The best book I have ever read!!!
Review: I decided to buy this book in Canada to read coming back from Canada to PA. I read this book in 2 days. I could not put this book down. It was so fun to read because there are so many surprizes in this book! I would definitly suggest this book to anyone from the ages 9+! I loved how it went through her whole day and could express fellings so well!!! I am now reading the second book and I feel the same about it too!!!

Summary: Absolutely delightful
Review: Author Meg Cabot has a marvelous eye for detail and a wonderful ear for dialogue. In THE PRINCESS DIARIES, she takes a preposterous plot and somehow makes it completely plausible.

Her heroine is a teenage New Yorker who is not as spoiled as the typical "Manhattan princess." She attends a pricy New York prep school. I personally know several girls who could be this heroine's classmates, so I can say that Cabot, in describing this population, captures their dialect and their rhythms perfectly.

Cabot also captures plenty of other New York detail as well, such as the husband-and-wife psychiatric team who name their shetland sheepdog "Pavlov." Indeed, the sheltie was the breed that Pavlov used in his conditioning experiments.

THE PRINCESS DIAIRES offers plenty of belly-laughes and a story which can be read by both grandmother and teenage granddaughter with no discomfort. The descriptions of newly formed teenage romances are true to life.

Adolescent girls and New Yorkers of all ages will be charmed by THE PRINCESS DIARIES. It's better than tea at The Plaza with Eloise. Almost.

Summary: Who you thought was average might not be average after all
Review: Mia Thermopolis thought that her life was a wreck. Besides the fact that she was in the gawky, akward stage in her life, she was failing Algebra and she couldn't find one way to get Josh Richter, the most popular guy in school, to find any interest in her, AND she couldn't get Lana Weinberger to leave her the hell alone.
If you think that her life could get any worse (or better) Mia finds out that her father is the prince of a small country and that she, Mia (gawky)Thermopolis was a (...) princess!
So now Mia is having to go to princess lessons with her tyrant of a grandmother, and have to deal with all the media stalking her and trying to get her interviews. Will anything ever be the same again? Will Mia be able to gt through this challenge??

Hmm...i liked this book, but i DID get kind of tired of Mia's whining. That's okay though. Just a minor blemish in the work of this book. The rest was really good.

Summary: Fun and Easy to read
Review: I bought this book at a bookstore as a last resort, but I ended up loving it so much that I was extremely sad when it ended. It is about a normal, geeky 14 year old girl whose life is suddenly turned upside down by discovering the fact that she is the princess of a small European municipality "Genovia". This book was written fairly recently (I think in 2000) so everything she mentions about pop culture you totally know what she is talking about. The style of writing is fun and easy to relate to for a teenager. It makes you never want to put it down! I even risked car sickness just so I could find out what happened next. I loved this book so much and am highly anticipating the sequel. Hats off to Meg Cabot for a wonderful book. I reccomend "Princess Diaries" to anyone who is looking for a good read!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A pretty good book
Review: This was a great book, though very easy to read. The plot was a little unrealistic, but easy to follow. It's not exactly great literature, but good for a nice, quick (and funny) read. If you liked this book, I recommend 'On the Bright Side, I'm now the girlfriend of a Sex God' for another quick and funny read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Julie
Review: I absiloutly loved this book. i couldn't put it down. hands down one of the best books i've ever read. it is unrealistic that a princess of Genovia would pop up in Manhattan but i still loved it. you can totally relate to her and her problems. it's like reading your friends diary rather than a fictional person's diary. Meg Cabot has really out done herself. she makes it as thought all your problems melt away and seem stupid, when reading it you feel as thought your problems are insignefiecant(i was always really bad at spelling). upon finishing the first book for a book club, i ran out and bought the second. they were both histerically funny and horribly sad (to those who are softies like myself) at the same time. i am waiting anxiously for the 3rd to arrive and can sink into careless diary reading again.
PS. i rate it a lot higher than 5 stars but that's as high as it goes

Summary: An Urban Princess? Riiiiiiight...
Review: Though the plot may be a little farfetched, I have read this diary-style book no less than 13 times already. I can really identify with the main character-though I'm not a princess that lives in New York-because I can relate with the fact that she's unpopular. Other kids at school won't give me so much as the time of day (not that I ask for it!), but when test-time comes, whoo! Suddenly everybody's my friend. But I digress (I love that word! Such a nice one for an eighth-grader :D)...I thouroughly enjoyed this book and the sequel, #II, and am anxiously waiting for #III. I sound like I'm writing a book-report, don't I? Oh, joy...

Rating: 5 stars
