Summary: It's truly Amazing
Review: This book should be the top of every girls list to read throughtout the summer and through the school year. This book is about an everday average girl named Madison. Madison is forced into taking art lesson because Madison is happening to fail German language class because all she does is draw. One day she is at her art class but she doesn't want to go becasue she is dripping wet from the heavy rain that is coming down, so she waits outside. There is a guy standing next to her and the guy keeps moving somthing around in his jacket, Madison thinks he stole something but he didn't he has a gun to shoot the Presidents of the U.S. Its a really great book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Every bit as enjoyable as the Princess Diaries
Review: Samantha has a troubled life. She's in love with her older sister's boyfriend. She's also being forced by her parents to take an art class that restricts her creativity. Things get worse when she saves the President's life. Now she has to dodge the media and fulfill her duties as the teen ambassador to the U. N. Her romantic life also gets more complicated when the President's son takes an interest in her.

This book is every bit as enjoyable as the Princess Diaries Series and fans of that series should run out and buy it this second! Sam has a lot in common with Mia but is different enough that you won't feel like you are reading the same book twice. I especially like this books because it's filled with art humor and Gwen Stefani worship which I can identify with. I hope Meg Cabot decides to write a sequel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A days worth of fluff
Review: This book is teenage girl fluff. I whizzed through the whole thing in a day. While David is every bit as adorable and wonderful as Michael for the Princess Diaries, I found that I didn't enjoy the heroine, Sam, nearly as much as I like Mia. The plot is just plain goofy, and follows the exact same line as the Princess Diaries. Still, it's a fun, brainless read of instant fame, makeoevers, cheerleader bashing, first kisses, and cute boys. Don't expect much more though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Wow She really is an all American Girl
Review: I thought that this would be some book that showed a girl showing her American spirit and donates all her money to some organization and says this is for the poor people all over the world. BOY was I wrong. My friend is a huge friend of Meg Cabot and gave this book to me and told me to give it a try. I did and I loved it. It's about this girl who has a crush on her older sister's boyfriend. So she tries to be like him and turns goth practically and then takes serious intrest in art, even though she alreadt loves to draw. Then she is forced to take art lessons and she hates it. Leans to draw what she sees, not what she already knows. Then through out the book, she saves the president and meet his son. Then its sort of a triangle because the son likes Sam but she likes her sis's boyfriend. In the end it is a happy ending and I'm glad for the decison she makes and I was shocked on what her sister did. Knowing what type of person Sam's sis is.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Didn't I already read this?
Review: If you liked The Princess Diaries, I can almost guarantee that you'll like All-American Girl. Take Mia Thermopolis. Change her into a lost artist named Sam. Have her save the president and and become teen ambassador to the UN and BOOM! A new book based on the same storyline. The fact that Sam was completely clueless about what was in front of her drove me crazy. I have to say, I was disappointed with Meg Cabot's work on this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Need a Laugh?
Review: Wow! Meg Cabot keeps getting better and better! When I finished all the available books from The Princess Diaries I knew I had to read this one!
I'm glad I did! You can really relate to the reality in this book! Sure, the chances of you saving the president from assasination is nil, it's still highly entertaining to read about!
Sam Madison's life is on a slippery slope! Her sister, Lucy, just ratted her out on drawing pictures of people with celeberties at school for a charge, so know she has to attend drawing lessons with Susan Boone! She skips class one day and when waiting for her housekeeper to pick her up she saves the life of the president which changes her life forever!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Haven't I read this before?
Review: Outcast girl who one day becomes the most popular girl in America. Sound familiar? Well, it should. It seems to me like Meg Cabot took the story-line from the very successful Princess Diaries series and tweaked it a little to form an all new book. In the Princess Diaries, the outcast--Mia--finds out she's a princess and her life changes. In All-American Girl, the outcast--Sam--saves the president's life and is appointed Teen ambassador to the UN and her life changes. I must say, I was expecting much more from this book. It wasn't bad, but it all just seemed like a huge repeat to me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One you should read, but NOT the greatest
Review: It's a so-so book... it's good and it'll keep you interested, some of the time... this book just doesn't stand in my mind as a modern masterpiece. Meg Cabot just didn't work magic over me in this one but i definitely think you should read it... it's a good one to take while waiting for another!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book!
Review: I loved this book!! Meg Cabot is an awesome writer. I have read this book twice and the second time I liked it even more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much better than the Princess Diaries
Review: All American Girl is one of the best books I have ever read. It's really funny, and also very well written. The book is about Samantha, (Sam for short), who is one of the most boring girls on the planet. Her older sister Lucy is the most popular girl in school and is really into fashion and boys. Her younger sister Rebecca is a certified genius and at 11 and 1/2 she's taking collage courses. Sam is just the boring girl in between, who is a lefty and thinks she has a twin who was never born. She also dyed her whole wardrobe black and doesn't have a boyfriend, (she happens to be in love with Lucy's). Then her life changes. She saves the President of the United States from and asassination attempt, becomes a national hero and is the teem ambassador of the UN.

The book is full of lists that Samantha writes such as Top Ten Reasons Samantha Madison Is In Deep Trouble, and at the end of the list she writes the number one reason she is in deep trouble, etc.

As I said before this book is one of my favorite books, and it's really funny and well written. I reccomend this book to all girls from age 12 and up.

Enjoy!!!
