Summary: The Princess diaries- Nothin Less
Review: Princess Diaries- Meg Cabot Princess Diaries is about a young teenager Named Mia, in about every High school theirs always a guy that gets all the ladies attention. Well there was this one guy that had all the girls in the school after him, but he had a girlfriend and the girls were still drooling over him. Mia had the biggest crush on him, in school she was the biggest dork you would ever meet, kids always made fun of her. After they all found out that she was a Princess, everyone loved her, no one made fun of her.
Meg Cabot entertained thousands of readers with her Princess Diaries series about an awkward teenage girl from Manhattan who discovers that she's actually inherited to the throne of a small European principality. In this princess-pink guidebook, the unlikely royal Mia Thermopolis informs her. --I enjoyed reading this book because its funny and I already saw the movie, but there both totally different. I like the book better because its more detailed, descriptive. --I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read a nice, funny, detailed, descriptive book.

Summary: Better than the movie!!!!!!!!
Review: This was an awesome book. It is full of funny, yet touching insatances to make this book one of a kind. For one thing, this book is better than the movie. The characters are more beleivable and it isn't that "and they all live happily ever after" kind of book. And Meg Cabot tells the truth. At one point, she describes the popular clique as being dressed "from haed to toe in Abercrombie and Fitch", which exactly right. This book really made you want to know Mia, almost like talking to your best friend about everyday troubles, despite the fact that shes a princess. Choose this one!

Summary: *The Princess Diaries*
Review: As stated in "The Princess Diaries", "My life as a teenager is so hard", said Mia Thermopolis, of her life. By reading that quote, it obviously isn't very easy being a teenager.
In "The Princess Diaries", by Meg Cabot, Mia has to go through a hard teenage life - she has a crush on one of the most popular guys, while she's a freak, she gets picked on, she has big feet, and to top it all of, she finds out she is a princess!
I think that Meg Cabot wrote a wonderful book. She showed readers what it would be like to live as a typical teenager. (Although most don't find out that they're a princess!) She wrote this book in diary format, so when you're reading the book, it feels like you could actually be Mia, or even be reading your friend's diary.
Mia has to go through embarrassing moments, princess lessons with her grandmother which she dreads, overcoming her fear of public speaking, her mother dating her algebra teacher, while Mia is struggling to even pass that class, and many other things that are making her life miserable.
"The Princess Diaries" is almost guaranteed to please readers who are interested in reading others diaries, or wondering what other peoples teenage lives can be like, and it is definitely worth reading, because of the story in it that pushes you to want to read more. So if you think life is hard, wait until you read about Mia's!

Summary: Best Book Ever!
Review: Ok So It's My First Year As a Freshman, And I Have to Pick Out A Book On My Teacher's List..? Fun right? I Sure Wasnt Thinking So, But I Picked Out The Princess Diaries Because I Thought The Movie Was Alright. As I Read Through The First Few Pages I Just Couldnt Stop! This Book Is So Intriguing! It Is A Tale Of Young, Dorky, Mia Thermopolis. She Gos To Albert Eienstein High School...Oh Yeah And She Just Found Out She's Princess Of Genovia. There Is ALOT Of Difference Between The Book, So If You Wanna Write A Book Report On It, Don't Base It On The Movie. YOU WILL HAVE TO READ IT! lol ok anyways, This Book Is The BEST BOOK I Have EVER Read. And I Am NOT A Person Who Like To Read. Whether Your 12 Or 99 This Book Is The Best Book Ever.

Summary: A fun, light read
Review: This is a great book that deals with an unrealistic situation (a teenage girl suddenly finding out she is a princess) realistically. Mia not only deals with all the problems surrounding that revelation, but with the same issues of friendship and first crushes that all teenagers face. Meg Cabot perfectly captures and the drama and angst in a teenager's life. The only potential problem with the longevity of this book is the constant pop culture references that may quickly become out of date. (But kudos to Ms. Cabot for knowing so much pop culture!)

Summary: A Book About a TRUE teen life
Review: The Princess Diaries is a great book for more than one reason. First of all, like most teen books, it deals with normal teen anguist. Second, it includes hilarious dialogue and modern day characters. Third, and in my opinion, least important, The Princess Diaries chronicles the life of a newly discovered princess.
Why is this the least important, you may ask? Well, although Mia's "princess lessons" with Grandmere are highly amusing, as are her body guard, regal dad, and tales of events in her french chateau, what really gives this book the one up over other teen books is much more simple. Because unlike characters in books by other prominent teen authors such as Ann Brashares and Louise Rennison, Mia is a dork. Her episodes with her friends; locking a nerdy violin player in a closet during her Gifted and Talented class, filming a public acess t.v show, getting into a fight with her opinionated best friend Lily, trying desperately to hide her new title from her friends, and her excitement over getting asked to the big dance by a senior hottie are what really make the book. As a self proclaimed nerd in a Los Angeles private school, I can assure you that the teenage characters in this book are altogether very real. Also, unlike other teen books, this one contains little of make out sessions, dates, and drugs. When dorky teens read this book (such as my friends and I) we feel that someone has FINALLY looked onto our world. And as is also relevant to The Princess Diaries, often that world is much better than that of the popular crowd. Congrats to an author who really, truly, understands.
