Summary: Literature Gold
Review: The fifth instalment in Meg Cabot's ever increasingly popular Princess Diaries is back with...Princess in Pink! Cabot has managed to recapture the magic that was slowly fading as each new book came out with this delicious new book with an insight of another two weeks in heroine Mias's life.
We begin this book with something previously never seen in the books Mia's school newspaper including a contribution from Mia her self! Unfortunately this contribution is just the school lunchtime menu but Mia is hopeful for chances to write better articles.
Things progress with Mia's 15th birthdayIn the same day Mia also has a family dinner which results in hilarious disaster but I won't spoil it for you but it was one of many laugh out loud moments in the book.
The book continues with yet another protest from Lilly this time defending the rights of waiters across New York! What this has to do with Mia will be revealed as you read but it does result in a fight between friends and an unexpected love twist!
There is also a party celebrating Mia's birthday but as per usual ends in disaster!
Mia's mother is still pregnant and is letting everyone knowing it including her bladder functions (cute.)
However, this are just small side plots to the main plot of the story which is Mia's quest to go to the Prom with Michael in her arms. Sadly it turns out the Prom is his idea of hell and would rather go bowling! Which results in Mia plotting in how to get there and amusing inputs from Grandmere.

All the favourite characters are back in this blockbuster and for once we hear a lot more about Tina, Boris and Michael rather than just Mia's thoughts on them.

What I liked about this book is that it didn't focus on one main plot but several keeping the book fresh and avoiding the plot dragging along. There are plenty of twists throughout the book and many more laugh out loud moments than in previous books. I truly believe that this is the best Diary since the very first one. Meg Cabot has worked very long and hard on this book and is worth the long wait as it also longer read than the previous books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Princess in Pink Positively Perfect!
Review: The latest book in the Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot is one that you won't be able to put down (literally!)

In this latest book, Princess Mia tries desperately to get her boyfriend, Michael Moscovitz, to ask her to the senior prom, which he thinks is dorky, and would rather go bowling. Meanwhile, Mia is caught in the middle of a strike of restaurant busboys, which her best friend Lilly Moscovitz is leading, which all started by an incident involving Grandmere, Mia's grandmother and dowager princess of Genovia, at Mia's birthday dinner at a fancy restaurant. And Mia's pregnant mother's due date is inching closer and closer...

This is a great book. I read it in a day, and could not put it down. Princess Diaries fans will not be disappointed with Meg Cabot's latest novel!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A book that will win the heart of any girl!
Review: Things are looking up for Mia Thermopolis: she is the newest member of the school paper,"The Atom", her completion of freshmen algebra is just around the corner, and she is just about to get a new baby brother or sister. Could things possobly be any better?

But Mia has just one wish, to spend any evening with Michael in a tuxedo and a corsage around her wrist, in other words...Mia really REALLY wants to go to the prom. However, Michael doesn't seem to share the same dream, which is the prom. Worse still, a service workers strike (with Lilly and Mia grandmother at the heart of it and on opposite sides) threatens the very existence of this year's prom.

Will the strike end in time? Can Michael be persuaded out of his anti-prom views before the prom? And, most importantly, will Mia ever be able to wear her beautiful pink prom dress?

This book is a great book for any girl who has ever fallen in love with a boy...or PINK! :)

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This book is well crafted nad follows true to the seires. Meg Cabot writes yet another spell binding novel. In Princess in Pink, Mia is dealing with not so ordinary problems. She worries about the Prom and about the future of her genovea. She finally has a boyfriend and now all she wants is to go to prom. Her Grandmother and best friedn are feuding and she is trying to pass Algebra. Whats a gril to do. This book is written with witt and it makes you wish you too were a princess.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 5 letters: T R A S H
Review: This book plain reeked if you were over the age of ten. Come on, the people reading these books did not start off liking them because Mia loved asinine junk like the prom and if her boyfriend was going to break up with her. The only good thing in this book was Lilly, and there wasn't even that much of her.

You really want to know? just read the first three books and stop there. There's no point in going on if you want a three-dimensional heroine.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book!!!!
Review: this book rox my sox off! haha but seriously, this book was a great read. It contains all the important stuff for a good book: teens, boyfriends, conflict, friends, and girls! its a must read for all teen girls! and for those who find it unappropriate (this is you, ytuka or however you spell it) its not. so grow up and realize that the students you teach (jr. high) may already have boyfriends and they (OMG) may have gotten to 2nd base. heaven forbid that people should read about what actually happens in the real world. god, turn on mtv for a sec, would you? so stop trying to parent the whole world and appreciate the authors correct showing of situations in the real teenage world. in a few years, those teens you have in class may be having sex. so ya kno, its not that big of a deal to read about a character getting to 2nd base in a book. this is a shout out to meg: we love your books. keep writing the way you do!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really good
Review: This book was so good! If you loved the first four, you will love the fifth. This book was so funny, with a ton of outrageous stuff happening(my favorite was with Boris and the globe!). The only thing I didn't like was how Mia obsessed about the prom so much. This is a must read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best in the series so far
Review: This is the best one in the series. I got the book the Saturday (...) It's about Mia wanting to go to the sneior prom with Micheal, but he doesn't want to. On top of this Lily has organized a strike for the working busboys in New York, and Grandmere is on the opposite side. The only way Micheal with go to the prom is if the rest of his band can come. Simple answer to this right? Let his band play. Since it's Mia, it is of course not that simple. She has to convince the head of the prom commitee, Lana, to let them play. It is impossible to out down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of The Best Yet
Review: This was one of the best Princess Diaries books yet. Not only was it very interesting, but it was hard to put down. I read it on a train, and it definetaly kept me busy, because I had one question, "Will Mia get to wear her pink prom dress?" My question was answered, and I can NOT WAIT until the next PD book comes out. These books are phenomenal.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ow my brain...
Review: This was the worst book in the P.D. series! Mia whines. And complains. And whines some more about her annoying boyfriend who WON'T TAKE HER TO PROM!!!!(gasp shock!!!!) Who really cared? I hadn't read the other books in a while so I decided to re-read them and realized that they were nothing more than loooong whine fests. Try reading Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging if you want a book that's acually worth reading!
