Summary: "Alright But Yet Slightly Flawed"
Review: This book titled "All-American Girl" is written by the female author named Meg Cabot. It's basically about a teen girl named Sam who saves the president and his life from an attempted assassination. She then becomes an overnight celebrity, even though she thinks what she did wasn't so brave because she doesn't see herself as brave. I think this book is an okay read, and I think the author's writing style is interesting causing the story to be fun to read. I would have given it five stars, except for some certain things-there is swearing and a little bit of cussing, how the author describes some things, and the fact that the main character if sort of a goth. But I really like her older sister, Lucy. So Lucy, although a secondary character, would have to be my favorite person. Sam's best friend, Catherine, would be my second favorite but only because she wears these long skirts and wants, in a way, to be the It Girl. The plot or theme (a normal girl saving the president of the United States of America from some weirdo guy) isn't very realistic or what some may call believable, but how things turn out and how other people react and just mainly how everything and everyone else acts, is mostly believeable and realistic, I guess. I suppose most teen girls (maybe, I'm only guessing) would enjoy buying this book to read, over and over even.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but not quite what I expected
Review: I bought this book, eager to read it. It was a good book, but it's not as good as I thought it would be.
Sam Cabot is what you would call an outcast. She wears all black, and her older sister had told on her for her celebrity drawings. Her older sister, Lucy, is popular, and her boyfriend, Jack, makes Sam melt.
Her younger sister on the other hand, is a genious.
Basically Sam is caught it in the middle of her family. Her life sucks. Until one day, Samantha Cabot did what she had to do. She saved the President of The United States from being shot.
But that's not all. There is fission go on with the President's son and her... but loves Jack..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best bookds I've read recently
Review: I couldn't put this book down. It made me feel so happy inside while reading it. I would always laugh out loud at the author's comedic way of putting everything. Her characters are loveable and very easy to relate to. I'd definitely recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brilliant novel
Review: My cover is way cooler and sparkles a bit.This never-once-boring novel involves Samantha Madison,a somewhat jaded,all-in-black rebel who hates her sisters.One is a bimbo Jessica Wakefield type,and the other is obsessed with aliens.But we soon discover that Sam is far more than just a whinger who seems to grizzle(to us readers anyway)about everyone and everything.She is also somewhat heroic.Well,A lot really,I guess.If you would like to read a witty,fun and highly original book,this is it,you've found it.Meg Cabot is a great(and I mean GREAT)wrwiter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book
Review: I loved this book! It's about a normal girl who happens to be able to draw very well. Her parents sign her up as a punishment for art lessons with a semi-crazy art teacher with a vicious bird. She doesn't seem to like it at first but her first day she meets David who justs happens to be the presidents son thought she doesn't know it at first. She eventually saves his fathere the president and she relizes who he is at a the dinner they hold for her. David and her go on a adventure around the white house and meet up again countless times in this book. She is envious of her sisters both who are either popular or smart. One of the best things in this book is the lists she makes like why she is going to die or why she asked David to the Party. Another great example of a fun to read book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CLASSIC!
Review: I thought The Princess Diaries deserved more than 10 stars. This book was almost just as good.Meg Cabot is one of the best authors of teenage books. You can easily relate to the main characters. It's funny, real and has just the right amount of romance in it, and not just any romance, the sweetest romance. Samantha is just the typical goth( well artist too), she's a middle child, her older sis is a popular cheerleader with a cool boyfriend, and her younger sis is practically a genius. Samantha thinks she's in love with jack, her sister's boyfriend, until she meets the president's son. Her whole life changes after saving the president's life.
This is simply classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Meg Cabot has outdone herself.....
Review: Being a middle child isn't very easy for Samantha Madison. With a perfect cheerleader for an older sister and know-it-all younger sister. Sam feels unimportant. Flunking her German classes at school, her parents enrolling her into an after-school class that she isn't very fond of at first. It isn't until one day, Sam stops a guy from assassinating the President of the United States. Samantha becomes an instant celebrity. Suddenly Sam's life becomes totally different. After being named the teen ambassador of the UN, and her love life isn't going the way she planned it to be. Her lifelong crush, Jack, who happens to be her sister, Lucy's boyfriend. Still hasn't reazlied that he loves Sam instead of Lucy like she wanted him to. Meanwhile, while Sam is trying to make Jack fall for her, she doesn't realize that she herself is discorvering her true feelings for this guy in her art class, David. Who turns out to be the President's son.
A book with many twists and turns, "All American Girl" is recommend to any teenage girl. Meg Cabot has truly outdone herself this time. A halarious book with many little funny things to laugh about in just about every page....every girl that reads "All American Girl" will be begging Meg Cabot for more about Samantha Madison.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT book but a little dejavu
Review: If you want a great quick read that you just can't put down, this is your book. If you've already read all 3 Princess Diaries you might not think so. I've read all the Princess Diaries and I thought that All-American Girl was very reminiscent of the prequel. A teenage ["urban rebel] who has a life-changing event happen to her and everybody starts to not be so mean to her and i would list the other simalarities but i'd give away the book. But if you don't mind that or havent read the P.D.'s then I recommend this book. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was great!
Review: This book was great! This book is great for teenagers because it is easy to relate to.For example Samantha has a crush on her sisters boyfriend and isn't exaclty popular and perfect but is just a normal 15 year old.
Samantha is not all that popular like her older sister lucy, and is just trying to get throught highschool. Samantha wants to be an artist and so does her sisters boyfriend Jack which is one of the many reason why Sam thinks she is perfect for Jack rather than her sister Lucy.
Sam gets caught drawing celebrity pictures and giving them out. So she is forced to attend art lessons which she doesn't want to go to. there she meets a boy named David who she thinks is cute.
Well one day Sam decides to skip art class because she just can't stand it, and while she is waiting to go home and something happens that will change Sam's life.
I thought this book was really good and exciting.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It was great!
Review: I am a HUGE fan of the Princess diaries and I was really excited to get Meg cabot's new book. I was not dissapointed. Sam madison is just as great a character as mia, but I found it easier to relate to her insome ways. Instead of being a prinscess, sam jumps a would-be-assasin and saves the president's life. She becomes an overnight hero and everyone wants to be her friend. i thought this book was hilarious
