The early 2000s were a wild time. If I had read the book back then I might have liked it. But in general I think the movie did it better. The book laid on the diary format too hard. It's like that break up book by Daniel Handler where the MC is writing a letter... I just don't believe Mia taking the...
Fat Louie is orange. Your whole life has been a lie. I was hugely distracted trying to figure out how this Genovian monarchy works. Mia's father is apparently running the country, but he has plenty of time to spend bugging Mia in the US? Mia is heir to the throne despite being an illegitimate chil...
I loved this book. It was a great read and I think I've actually read something in the same series when I was younger. It's set in a "diary" format and is about an ordinary schoolgirl called Mia who becomes a princess. Yes, she becomes a princess. Turns out her dad is secretly a prince and she has...
1 Jan 20041 July 2015I've read all the books, even the ones that are side stories or fashion tips or the middle grade adventures of a different princess. I've seen both movies repeatedly, and yes, I would love to see another film with Mia as a fully-functioning adult. Also, Julie Andrews continues t...
I've written pretty frequently about not being thrilled by YA anymore... but, god, am I sucker for Meg Cabot. The Princess Diaries is delightful. I love Mia's dramatic, oblivious, hilarious voice. I like the epistolary conceit. I like the ridiculous plot, and love the way Mia brings it to life. What...
About 4.75 stars. Meg Cabot is one of my favorite authors and she didn't disappoint me with Princess Diaries. Of course I have seen the movie and it is one of my favorite movies. I know parts of the book and parts of the movie are completely different, but that didn't bother me. This series is a sta...
This is a review of the audiobook as read by Anne Hathaway. SUMMARYMia Thermopolis’ extraordinarily ordinary American teenage world is thrown upside down when she finds out she is the one and only heir and Princess to the throne of Genovia, a small but rich country bordering France. WORLDBUILDINGI...
I have been hoping to read this series for a long time, but I just couldn't find it easily. The libraries here only sporadically had books from this series, generally in Dutch (believe me, you don't want to read that), and when I tried to find them on Amazon I only found the bleh covers or the books...
Princess Mia is getting married! Just imagine this but in wedding clues (and yeah, I could’ve gotten one in the wedding dress but then it wouldn’t have been Michael and that’s just not right). And I have to wait until June to read about it. But a supposed long lost sibling is getting a spino...
Read this in one sitting last night through this morning and thought this was a very different take on what I thought the book was going to be written like as far as from what the movie had to offer us with the Mia's story and how her father is actually alive in this version of the story unlike the ...
