Book Reviews of The Princess Diaries
Book Review: A Must-Read Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the best books I've laid my eyes on! It's about Mia, a normal, ordinary teenage girl (or so she thought!) living in Manhatten. (I know I spelled it wrong!) One day her father tells her that he is the prince of Genovia, a small European country, and Mia is a princess. Mia is shocked to learn this, and the rest of the story is basically about her experiences as a princess. It was funny, heartwarming, and interesting at the same time. I thought it was much better and more detailed then the movie. Great book!Book Review: A Must-Read for Young Adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great. It is about a typical teenage girl named Mia Thermopolis. But then again, she became Amelia Migeorette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo. She has an intelligent friend named Lilly Moscivitz. Usually she gives Mia a hard time on things in this book. Lana Weinberger also gives Mia a hard time too. Mia likes Josh Richter, who's a jock and a senior. He wants to go to Harvard or Yale someday. Same with Michael Moscivitz, the one that Mia also has a crush on. Then Mia turns out to be a princess from Genovia. Her mom dates her Algebra teacher, Mr. Gianni. She has no date for the Cultural Diversity Dance. She kinda turns out to. Josh Richter. He breaks up with Lana because Mia is a princess.
Poor Mia. She has no boyfriend yet. Or a secret admirer. At the end, Grandmere helps The Blind Guy, but turns out that he is not blind at all. Mia meets this rich girl quiet girl named Tina Hakim Baba. She has a bodyguard like Mia. They became friends when Mia and Lilly got in a fight about Mia being a princess and all.
So this book was great. I just wish that Mia didn't have to be a vegatarian or flat-chested or have NO boyfriend. But read this. This is great.
Book Review: A Perfect Teen Girl Book =)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a really good teen girl book. The overall plot is a little to ironic, but it makes it a fun thing to read. It is about a girl whose father is the Prince of a foreign country. Of course, they never told Mia (the girl writing the diary) about it until he got testicular cancer--therefore, he couldn't have any other children, which makes Mia the princess of this country, Genovia. This girl is one of the "unpopulars" at a school where only the cheerleaders and jocks are "popular". She faces some social issues that a bunch of teen girls could be facing. It is a really good book that I think every girl could enjoy reading.Book Review: A Princess in the Making
Summary: 4 Stars
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot is about a teenager named Mia Thermopolis who encounters many problems. Some of her problems include flunking algebra, not having a date to the Cultural Diversity Dance, fitting in at school, and dealing with her mom dating her algebra teacher. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mom in Manhattan, while her father and grandmother live in Genovia. One day, her father and grandma take a trip to Manhattan and her father tells her that she's the princess of Genovia! Throughout the rest of the book, Mia learns how to deal with being a princess and she learns that it's not that bad.I would definitely recommend this book, especially to teenage girls. Many girls can probably relate to Mia and her daily struggles. Even though being a princess is every girl's dream, Mia learns that it sound better than it really is and that being a princess takes a lot of hard work, but it's not as bad as she thinks. It's a very entertaining book and it is also very well-written. Overall, it's a really great book!
Book Review: A Princess you can relate to
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an adult and I simply adored this book! Cabot has the teen voice down pat, plus she doesn't sugar-coat the real issues and situations that face high school girls today. I think Mia is a great, solid female character that will have girls of all ages relating to her in some way or another. A word of caution, though: don't expect to find the Disney movie in this book! This "Princess" is nowhere near the screen version. And while I'm a fan of the movie as well, the differences between the two make the book all the more refreshing. Mia is a complete contradiciton: she is what every girl wants to be, yet at the same time she already is every girl. Yes, she tends to whine a little too much, but what fourteen-year-old girl doesn't? "Diaries", though filled with pop references that will likely become obsolete (even now, four years later, how many girls go gooey-eyed for Leonardo anymore?), will no doubt be read for many years on down the line. Reading this series is like making a new best friend!
