Summary: AMAZING READ
Review: Once I started to read "All American Girl", I couldn't stop. I didn't stop reading for six hours(I stayed up all night)until I finished the book. One of the really interesting parts of the book is that the plot is hard to believe. Sometimes, books with outrageous plots can be annoying, but I think anyone who enjoyed the "Princess Diaries" series would also like this book. However, "All American Girl" is great for any 12-15 year old girl. I also liked how after reading the book, you felt like you knew Samantha like she was your best friend. I would have given this book a five star rating if not for one thing. After I read the book, I realized that it was a lot like the "Princess Diaries" Series. This is mainly because Samantha(of All American Girl) and Mia(of Princess Diaries) both: have similar outlooks on the social pyramid that is high school, are at similar places on that pyramid, live in big cities, and end up suddenly becoming famous. The last part was what really bugged me. Both of them had to deal with reporters scrambling to get a glimpse of them. It really saddened me that Cabot(author) had to use the same type of girls in similar situations in the two books. Even so, "All American Girl" was an amazing book, and I would reccomend it to any girl.

Summary: Not a full review, persay...
Review: I didn't find this book as well-written or plotted as some of Meg's other novels (for example, those in the Princess Diaries series or The Boy Next Door); it was very predictable. The story was engrossing, though, and I found that I couldn't put it down until I had finished the entire book. Also, Meg Cabot gave a shout-out to one of my favorite indie bands, the Spitvalves, and for that, she gets extra points. This book really is only worth about 3/4 stars, but the fact that she knows who they are makes her infinitely cooler. :)

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: I bought this for a friend on her birthday cuz I read Cabot's Princess Diaries and thought it was funny. It turned out that the book went around to 5 of my friends and they all loved it! It's very funny even though it's unrealistic. David is the ideal kind of guy and Sam is a great character. Highly recommend!

Summary: All American Girl
Review: This book is about a girl named Samantha Madison, who lives in Washington D.C. Sam is different. She has red hair, wears black all the time, and has a pair of black combat boots with white daisies on them, which she decorated herself. Sam has a perfect older sister, Lucy, who is a cheerleader, Who has the boyfriend that Sam one day plans to steal away. Jack (Lucy's boyfriend) and Sam have so much in common, for example, their love for art. Sam's younger sister, Rebecca, is the brainiac. She always has the answers to everything. Since Sam loves art so much, her parents decide to sign her up for art classes at Susan Boone's. Sam dispises these art classes so much, that one day, she decides not to go. Instead, she went to go listen to music at the record store, right next door. When Sam goes outside to wait to be picked up, she sees the President and his limo pull up to go to the cookie store. At the same time, she sees the man sitting next to her, pull a gun out of his backpack. Sam immediately jumped on top of the man, ruining his chances of shooting the President, as well as breaking Sam's arm. Sam becomes famous. She finds out that one of the students in her art class happens to be the President's son (David). Sam and her family are invited to The White House to have dinner with the President and his family. Sam doesnt like the fancy food at all, so she and David excuse themselves from the table. They eat hamburgers, Sam's favorite. David carves Sam's name into the window sill, beside his. They become friends. The rest of this book goes on to tell about all of Sam's ideas to steal Jack. Jack turns out to be a real jerk, and Sam falls for someone else...
Can Sam stand the pressure of becoming someone else to satisfy the public? Will she ever get over the fact that Jack isn't the right guy for her? Read this book to find out. -Kristin-

Summary: Could be Better
Review: Personaly I love the Princess Diaries, Boy Meets Girl, and Boy Next Door. But All-American Girl did not ever compare to these it had such an unrealistic plot that it did not make sense. This girl goes through a few troubles but nothing as relatable as Mia in the Princess Diaries. It is worth reading but you should not drop everything just to read it there are better books out there. I would recommend this book only to teenagers who have already read The Princess Diaries and not just the first one all of them, and people who really enjoyed other Meg Cabot books but are willing to give her a chance to do something different. I hope this column helped you in making your disision!

Summary: An Excellent book!
Review: Samantha is an outcast, and doesn't care. Her sister Lucy is the most popular girl in school, with a cute boyfriend, Jack, who Samantha likes. Her younger sister is a geinus. Suddenly her sister reports to her parents that shes been drawing her friends with celeberties, and they make her take art lessons. She saves the president outside of one, and everything changes for Sam. I recommend this to people who enjoyed the Princess Diarys. Just be aware that the book contains a little bit of inappropriate lanugage. I read this in 6th grade, and have read it several times since. I think this book is definitly worth buying!

Summary: All American Girl Book Review
Review: This amazing, convincing and diverting tale All American Girl is witty and fun for everyone. Written by Meg Cabot, this book's structure is exquisite. A fun-filled ride with sassy taste. If your a young teen, and your interested in romance and comedy then check out All American Girl. "Great Fun," said Kirkus Reviews, after it had come out.
Samantha Madison was an avrage high school girl until one fateful afternoon. as she stood waiting for her housekeeper to come and pick her u from art lessons she noticed the President's limo pull up. As he got out a strange man was waiting for him. The man pulled out a gun and had his hand on the trigger, "This is for Margie," he said. When Samantha heard this she did the only thing she could do...she jumped on his back! From that moment on she wasn't known as Samantha Madison anymore she was known as "Our Nation's Hero."
As Meg Cabot writes she uses many different methods, such as similes, and very discriptive words, like "encouragingly" and "frizzon." She also uses both simplistic and sophisticated dialogue. I think that this book is excellent, especially because of Meg's writign techniques. I would definitely reccomend his book for it's outstanding effort. All American Girl s great and you'll love it too once you read it. This book is really more for the teen era, but maybe you will love it too.
All American Girl is a great book and i give it **** stars. I really hope you'll check it out.

Review: Samantha Madison is in trouble at home and at school. She is selling celebrity portarits and not doing well in school. She is sent to an art school as a punishment, but she embarks on an interesting adventure. This was a very good book. I would recommend this book to readers of all ages. I liked this book because it was very funny. It's also about trusting yourself and friendship.

Summary: So what?
Review: Many teenagers are now reading this book. But what I want to know is what is the point of it? The main character is way too strange. Her sister is totally unbelievable, a popular girl, does NOT want to help her dorky sister look better, she just wants to stay away from her, especially in public. Second, popular girls date only popular guys and vice versa. After these few points have been made. The reason I read this book was because many others liked it. The story is so fake that is not even interesting anymore (I'm a fantasy book fan, and even fantasy books are more credible than this), I mean, how possible is it that you see the president go and buy things when he could just send somebody else to do it?! Then, the top ten reason lists that you can find throughout the book are way too annoying, at about half of the book, I just started skipping them. So, this is why I DO NOT recommend this book. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!
